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 oven to 325 degrees F.
- In a medium saute pan, over medium-low heat, cook the onions, olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme until translucent, but not browned, approximately 15 minutes. Add the Worcestershire sauce, chicken stock, and tomato paste and mix well. Allow to cool to room temperature.
- Combine the ground turkey, bread crumbs, eggs, and onion mixture in a large bowl. Mix well and shape into a rectangular loaf on an ungreased sheet pan. Spread the ketchup evenly on top. Bake for 1 1/2 hours until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F. and the meatloaf is cooked through. (A pan of hot water in the oven under the meatloaf will keep the top from cracking.) Serve hot, at room temperature, or cold in a sandwich.

Tips:
- Choose lean ground turkey: Opt for ground turkey with a fat content of 93% or higher to reduce the overall fat and sodium content of the meatloaf.
- Use low-sodium ingredients: Pay attention to the sodium content of the ingredients you use, such as bread crumbs, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Choose low-sodium or no-salt-added options whenever possible.
- Add vegetables: Incorporate finely chopped vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions into the meatloaf mixture to boost its nutritional value and add moisture.
- Use herbs and spices: Experiment with different herbs and spices to enhance the flavor of the meatloaf. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and dried thyme.
- Don't overmix: Avoid overmixing the meatloaf mixture, as this can result in a tough texture. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
- Bake at a low temperature: Bake the meatloaf at a low temperature (325°F) for a longer period of time (about 1 hour and 15 minutes) to prevent it from drying out.
- Let it rest: Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meatloaf, resulting in a more flavorful and moist dish.
Conclusion:
This low-sodium ground turkey meatloaf is a delicious and nutritious alternative to traditional meatloaf recipes. By using lean ground turkey, low-sodium ingredients, and incorporating vegetables, herbs, and spices, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that is also heart-healthy. Experiment with different flavor combinations and cooking techniques to find your perfect low-sodium ground turkey meatloaf recipe.
