Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium/high heat and add olive oil. When the olive oil is fragrant, add the onion and a pinch of salt to the oil. Sauté the onion for 3-4 minutes and then add the minced garlic and sauté for one more minute. Remove from heat.
  • Whisk the eggs together in a large mixing bowl and then add milk, 2 tablespoons of ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce and whisk all of the ingredients together.

  • Add the ground turkey, bread crumbs, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, sautéed onion and garlic, and the rest of the salt, and use your hands to mix all the ingredients together. Do not overwork the turkey, or it will lose its texture and flavor.

  • Bake meatloaf for 35 minutes. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread 2-3 tablespoons of ketchup over the top. Then place the meatloaf back in the oven for 20 more minutes or until the center of the meatloaf has an internal temperature of 165ºF.
