Description
After much trial and error trying to make a more healthy meatloaf, I came up with this recipe. It is important to make this on a baking sheet so the liquids can be drained off the meatloaf. Also, do not put the topping on before the meatloaf has cooked for 30 minutes. Turkey creates a lot of juices, so if you put the topping on first it will become watery and runny.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds ground turkey
- ¾ cup crushed buttery round crackers
- ½ cup milk
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a jelly-roll pan.
- Mix ground turkey
- crushed crackers
- milk
- onion
- egg
- garlic
- salt
- and black pepper in a bowl. Shape mixture into a loaf and place on the prepared pan.
- Mix ketchup
- brown sugar
- and Worcestershire sauce in a separate bowl; set aside.
- Bake meatloaf in preheated oven for 30 minutes; remove from the oven and drain off liquids. Top meatloaf with ketchup topping.
- Return loaf to the oven and continue baking until no longer pink in the center
- about 30 minutes more; an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
