Delicious Turkey Meatloaf Recipe | Authentic British Dish

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 lb ground turkey (lean variety recommended)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably whole wheat)
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 1 cup onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp ketchup (for glaze)
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup milk (or dairy alternative)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    This ensures even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper.

    Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.
  3. Add Milk

    If using, add milk to the mixture to keep it moist.

    Adjust the amount based on consistency.
  4. Shape the Loaf

    Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan and shape into a loaf.

    Smooth the top for even cooking.
  5. Glaze the Top

    Spread ketchup over the top of the meatloaf for added flavor.

    This helps keep the meatloaf moist.
  6. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

    Let it rest before slicing for easier serving.
