Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef (lean, 85/15)
• 0.5 pound Ground turkey
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 0.25 cup Unsalted ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Oatmeal (quick-cooking)
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 2 teaspoons Olive oil
• 2 cups Low-sodium beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a small skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté for 5-7 minutes until onion is translucent. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground turkey, the sautéed onion and garlic, unsalted ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, egg, oatmeal, ground black pepper, and dried thyme.

Step 5

Mix the ingredients together gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Shape into a loaf that is approximately 8 inches long, 4 inches wide, and 2 inches high.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes until the center reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

Step 8

While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the gravy. In a small saucepan, heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add flour and whisk together for about 2 minutes until lightly golden.

Step 9

Slowly add the low-sodium beef broth, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Let it simmer until slightly thickened, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 10

Once the meatloaf is cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 11

Serve slices of meatloaf with the prepared low-sodium gravy spooned over the top.
