Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey (lean, 93% or 99%)
- 1 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs (whole wheat or panko)
- 0.25 cup Low-fat milk
- 0.5 cup Yellow onion (finely diced)
- 0.5 cup Bell pepper (finely diced, any color)
- 0.25 cup Celery (finely diced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Ketchup (optional, for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a small skillet over medium heat, sauté the onion, bell pepper, and celery until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, sautéed vegetables, Cajun seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Mix the ingredients gently but thoroughly with your hands or a spatula until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf tough.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and press it down evenly to ensure it's tightly packed.
Step 6
If desired, spread the ketchup evenly across the top of the meatloaf for a glossy and tangy glaze.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful, low-fat Cajun turkey meatloaf!
