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.
- Place remaining ketchup in a small bowl; stir in hot sauce. Spoon ketchup mixture evenly over meatloaf, spreading with the back of a spoon.
- Bake until meatloaf is browned on top, cooked through, and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 165 degrees, 45 to 50 minutes.
- Remove pan from oven and let meatloaf stand 5 minutes before serving.
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.

- Bake meatloaf in preheated oven for 30 minutes; remove from oven and drain liquids. Top meatloaf with ketchup topping.

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.

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.
