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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat until hot but not smoking. Add the chopped onion and saute until softened and brown, about 6 minutes. Add the parsley and cook for another minute. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the turkey with the breadcrumbs, egg, 1/4 cup of the ketchup, cooked onion mixture, salt and pepper. Mix until fully combined. Form into a loaf and transfer to a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon, brush the remaining 3 tablespoons of ketchup over the loaf.
- Evenly scatter the sliced onions over the loaf, drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until the meatloaf is cooked through, 55 to 60 minutes.
This mouthwatering turkey loaf is a breeze to make and a hit at any table! Here's how to make it effortlessly:
Tips:
- Prep the Loaf Pan: Grease and lightly flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan to ensure the turkey mixture doesn't stick.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh parsley, thyme, and sage add a burst of flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs, use 1/2 the amount of dried herbs.
- Don't Overmix: Mix the ingredients until just combined. Overmixing can make the loaf tough.
- Bake Perfectly: Bake the loaf at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the center reads 165°F (74°C).
- Let it Rest: Let the turkey loaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps the juices redistribute, resulting in a moist and flavorful loaf.
