Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground turkey
• 0.5 medium (finely chopped) onion
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
• 2 large egg whites
• 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup rolled oats
• 0.25 cup low-sodium ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 as needed for greasing cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard loaf pan with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, egg whites, and unsweetened applesauce.

Step 3

Add the rolled oats, low-sodium ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, dried parsley, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well-combined, but avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down lightly to ensure an even surface.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a food thermometer.

Step 6

Once fully cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 7

Slice into portions and serve warm. Pair with steamed vegetables or a side salad for a balanced meal.
