Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tbsp dry Italian seasoning

For the Topping

  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp packed brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar or mirin

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
  • Whisk the egg and milk in a separate bowl first
  • Combine turkey, onions, bread crumbs, ketchup, onion powder, italian seasonings, Worcestershire , salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix with hands to make sure everything is well seasoned.
  • Take a silicone spatula and transfer everything into a loaf pan. Use the spatula to make sure everything is evenly spread.
  • With the topping sauce combined, spread evenly on top of meatloaf
  • Put in oven for 1 hour
  • Take a butter knife and go around the edges to loosen the meatloaf first. Then take 2 sturdy spatulas and lift up to transfer to a plate to cool before cutting.

Notes

  1. We like the sauce so much that i actually doubled the recipe of the topping sauce. If you like it extra saucy like we do, double the topping sauce recipe. 
  2. Then pour half of the topping sauce on the meatloaf and cook for 45 minutes. 
  3. Then take it out of oven. Pour the rest of the sauce on it and continue to cook for the rest of the 15 minutes. 
*** You do not have to use ground turkey for this recipe. In fact you can use ANY ground meat. We have used ground pork and ground deer meat before. I am not too sure about ground chicken, but will have to test this out :) 
Trust me, you will NOT be disappointed!
