Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground turkey
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 medium (diced) onion
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
• 1 medium (grated) carrot
• 0.5 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup ketchup (for glaze)
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, milk, and egg. Mix gently with clean hands or a spatula until just combined.

Step 3

Add the diced onion, minced garlic, grated carrot, 1/2 cup ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Gently fold everything together until evenly distributed. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender meatloaf.

Step 4

Shape the mixture into a loaf on the prepared baking sheet or press it into the greased loaf pan.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard to make the glaze.

Step 6

Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.

Step 8

Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps the juices redistribute and ensures cleaner slices.

Step 9

Serve warm alongside your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
