Crazy Good Turkey Meatloaf Recipe
Description
This turkey meatloaf recipe uses 2 pounds of ground turkey mixed with finely grated onion, panko breadcrumbs soaked in milk, egg, mayonnaise, parsley, salt, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and garlic powder for flavor and moisture retention. The mixture rests briefly to hydrate before shaping into a loaf.
The loaf is topped with a glaze of ketchup and brown sugar that caramelizes in the oven, adding a sweet and tangy crust to the mild meat interior. Baking at 375°F until the internal temperature reaches 165°F ensures it is cooked through but remains tender. Letting the meatloaf rest post-baking allows juices to redistribute.
This recipe balances simple ingredients for a flavorful, moist meatloaf that can be sliced for sandwiches or plated alongside vegetables or mashed potatoes.
