Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Form the turkey mixture into a loaf shape on the baking sheet or press it evenly into the loaf pan.

Spread the low-sodium ketchup evenly on top of the meatloaf.

Step 7

Lay the turkey bacon strips over the top of the meatloaf, tucking the ends underneath the loaf.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Allow the meatloaf to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
