Turkey Meat Loaf

My go-to meatloaf recipe makes enough for 8 servings: that’s dinner plus lunch the next day or a second dinner!

Turkey Meat Loaf

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 cup finely chopped onion

1 carrot, chopped

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 cup ketchup, divided

2 tablespoons brown mustard

1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 large egg white, lightly beaten

1 pound lean ground turkey (7% fat)

1 pound ground turkey breast

  1. Preheat oven to 400F. Coat a baking sheet or the bottom of a broiler pan with cooking spray.
  2. Heat the oil in a medium sized nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and carrot and cook, stirring occasionally, 5-6 minutes, or until the carrot is soft. Transfer to a large bowl.
  3. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, 1/2 cup of the ketchup, mustard, breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, and lightly beaten egg white; mix thoroughly.
  4. Use a fork to cut in the two kinds of ground turkey. Mix thoroughly, but do not overwork.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the baking sheet and form into a 10 x 5-inch loaf. Spoon the remaining 1/2 cup of ketchup over the top and sides of the loaf, spreading it fairly evenly.
  6. Bake until an instant read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the center reads 165F, about 70 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.

I make my living writing, teaching and speaking about food and travel. In the name of work, I (have to!) eat a lot, meet interesting people (many of whom, like me, are passionate about their work) and travel near and far to see where and how food is made, grown or raised. I am saved from a life of extreme obesity by the fact that I truly love to exercise, but I am always one forkful away from not being able to button my jeans. Mine is a sweet and savory life.

I share it with my husband and co-author, David Bonom. Check out our new book, Hero Dinners: Complete One-Pan Meals That Save the Day
