Ground Turkey Meatloaf Recipes
Ingredients
- cremini mushrooms, trimmed - 1/2 pound (8 ounces or 227 grams), about 15 mushrooms
- finely chopped onion - 1 1/2 cups (145 grams), (1 to 2 medium onions)
- minced garlic - 2 teaspoons, 2 medium cloves
- vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon
- kosher salt - 1 teaspoon
- ground black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
- Worcestershire sauce - 1 tablespoon
- ketchup, divided - 7 tablespoons (try using our homemade ketchup recipe)
- panko bread crumbs - 1 cup (60 grams)
- milk - 1/3 (79 ml) cup
- large eggs - 2, lightly beaten
- ground turkey (92% lean) - 1 1/4 pound (20 ounces or 567 grams)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400º F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil then lightly oil the bottom.
- Prepare Meatloaf: You can chop the mushrooms one of two ways: by hand or in a food processor. The mushrooms need to be very finely chopped, about 1/8-inch pieces. Set aside.
- Cook onion, in oil, in a large skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until softened. Add garlic then cook 1 minute.
- Add chopped mushrooms, a 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally about 10 minutes or until liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated and they are tender.
- Transfer onions and mushrooms to a large bowl then stir in 3 tablespoons of ketchup and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce. Cool 5 minutes. In the meantime, stir together the breadcrumbs and milk and let stand 5 minutes.
- Add breadcrumbs and beaten eggs to onions and mushrooms then mix well. Next, add turkey along with remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Mix well with hands (or a fork). (The mixture will be very wet).
- Form mixture into a 9-inch by 5-inch oval loaf in the middle of prepared baking sheet. Then, use the back of a spoon to spread the remaining 4 tablespoons of ketchup on top of the meatloaf.
- Bake Meatloaf: Bake until an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meatloaf registers 170 degrees F (77 degrees C), 40 to 50 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
