Easy Turkey Meatloaf

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.

2. 2

   In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very tender and lightly browned around the edges, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat and transfer to a plate to cool to room temperature.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, stir together the panko and milk. Let stand 5 minutes so the panko absorbs the milk for a juicy meatloaf.

4. 4

   Stir the eggs, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon of the Worcestershire sauce, the pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt into the panko mixture. Add the cooled onion mixture and the turkey. Using your hands, gently mix until just combined, being careful not to squeeze the turkey.

5. 5

   Turn the mixture out onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a 9x4-inch loaf.

6. 6

   In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup and the remaining 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Reserve 1 cup, cover, and set aside.

7. 7

   Brush the meatloaf with half of the remaining ketchup mixture and place it in the oven.

8. 8

   Bake for 30 minutes. Brush again with the remaining ketchup mixture and return to the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until a meat thermometer inserted into the center registers 165°F.

9. 9

   Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for 15 minutes. Serve warm with the reserved ketchup mixture.
