Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lb ground turkey (85% lean)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup onion, finely diced and sautéed
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced and sautéed
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions:

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion and garlic for 4-5 minutes until translucent. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, beaten egg, cooled sautéed aromatics, panko breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix with hands or a fork until just combined; do not overwork the meat.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Shape the meat mixture into a uniform loaf on a prepared 9x5 inch baking pan or rimmed baking sheet.
  4. Whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and garlic powder. Brush half of the glaze over the top of the loaf.
  5. Bake for 40 minutes. Apply the remaining glaze and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Remove from oven and let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing to redistribute juices.
