Time 1h

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds ground turkey, preferably 85 percent lean/15 percent fat, or a mix of ground breast and thigh meat
2/3 cup chopped yellow onion
1/2 cup chopped red or green bell pepper
1/2 cup unseasoned dried bread crumbs
1/3 cup chopped celery
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup ketchup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees with rack positioned in center of oven.
  • Place turkey in a large bowl. Add onion, bell pepper, breadcrumbs, celery, egg, 1 tablespoon ketchup, garlic, Essence, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until ingredients are well combined. Transfer turkey mixture to a 1-pound loaf pan; form into a domed loaf shape.

BEST TURKEY MEATLOAF

After much trial and error trying to make a more healthy meatloaf, I came up with this recipe. It is important to make this on a baking sheet so the liquids can be drained off the meatloaf. Also, do not put the topping on before the meatloaf has cooked for 30 minutes. Turkey creates a lot of juices, so if you put the topping on first it will become watery and runny.

1 ½ teaspoons salt

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful ground turkey: Look for ground turkey that is made from dark meat or a blend of dark and light meat. This will give your meatloaf more flavor and moisture.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: Add herbs, spices, and vegetables to your meatloaf mixture to give it flavor. Some good options include onion, garlic, celery, carrots, parsley, sage, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Form the meatloaf into a loaf shape: Use your hands to form the meatloaf mixture into a loaf shape. Make sure the loaf is evenly shaped so that it cooks evenly.
  • Bake the meatloaf at a high temperature: Bake the meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meatloaf and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

A 1-pound turkey meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. It is a great way to use up leftover turkey or to make a healthy and flavorful meal. By following these tips, you can make a moist and flavorful turkey meatloaf that your whole family will enjoy.
