Turkey Meatloaf
Report
There are few things more welcome than a generous slice of homemade Turkey Meatloaf. It's easy to make, the leftovers are off the charts delicious, and no one at the table will miss the beef.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large onions chopped, (about 3 cups)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 1/2 teaspoons tomato paste
- 5 pounds ground turkey (see note 1)
- 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs (see note 2)
- 4 large eggs beaten
- 3/4 cup ketchup (see note 3)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. In a medium skillet over medium-low heat, heat the olive oil until shimmering. Add the onions, thyme, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and cook until the onions are translucent but not browned, about 15 minutes.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, chicken broth, and tomato paste. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, bread crumbs, eggs, and cooled onion mixture. Mix well and shape into a rectangular loaf on an ungreased baking sheet. Spread the ketchup evenly on top.
- Bake until the internal temperature is 165 degrees and the meat loaf is cooked through, about 1 1/2 hours. Serve hot, room temperature, or cold in a sandwich. (A pan of hot water in the oven, under the meat loaf, will keep the top from cracking.)
Notes
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Ground turkey: Look for 93% lean ground turkey (99% lean will be too dry for meatloaf).
- Bread crumbs: It's easy to make your own bread crumbs and for the tastiest results, I highly recommend it. Or, substitute store-bought.
- Ketchup: Using a sauce like ketchup keeps the meatloaf moist. But, you could use a different sauce such as your favorite BBQ sauce, or bake the meatloaf plain and make a gravy or marinara sauce for serving.
- Yield: This recipe makes 1 very large loaf of Turkey Meatloaf. You can get at least 10 slices out of it, more or less depending on how you cut it.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
