Ingredients

• 1 lb ground turkey
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 3 carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
• 2 zucchini, sliced into rounds
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tbsp parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well combined but do not overmix.

Step 3

Shape the turkey mixture into a loaf and place it in the center of the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Spread the remaining 1 tablespoon of ketchup over the top of the loaf for added flavor and moisture.

Step 5

In a separate large bowl, toss the carrots, zucchini, and red bell pepper with olive oil, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 6

Arrange the seasoned vegetables around the turkey loaf on the baking sheet, spreading them out evenly.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 165°F (74°C) when tested with a meat thermometer.

Step 8

During the last 5 minutes of cooking, turn the oven to broil to give the top of the meatloaf a slightly caramelized crust, if desired.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve the slices of turkey meatloaf alongside the roasted vegetables.
