Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground turkey
• 1 cup Cremini mushrooms
• 1 small Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Ketchup

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Finely chop the cremini mushrooms, onion, garlic, and parsley. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped mushrooms and onions until softened and most of the moisture from the mushrooms has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 1 minute. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, cooked mushrooms and onions, parsley, thyme leaves, egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands or a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.

Step 5

Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it gently to shape a smooth, even loaf.

Step 6

Spread the ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf as a glaze.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables.
