Turkey Meatloaf

6 servings

15 minute prep; 1 hour 30 minute cook

Ingredients required:

  • olive oil cooking spray
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • salt & pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp. rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp. thyme leaves, chopped
  • 2 lbs. (900g) ground turkey
  • 2.8 oz. (80g) breadcrumbs
  • 4.2 fl. oz. (120ml) milk
  • 2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 egg
  • 2.8 oz. (80g) tomato ketchup
  • 2 tbsp. coconut sugar

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly grease a large deep baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over a medium heat, add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until soft. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the garlic and herbs. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant, then remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Mix the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, egg, and cooked vegetables together in a large bowl until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Add the turkey mixture to the prepared baking dish, and form the meat mixture into a loaf shape. Add the tomato ketchup and coconut sugar to a small bowl, mix to combine and brush over the loaf. Place the dish into the hot oven and bake for around 1 hour 20 minutes, until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
