This turkey loaf recipe offers a flavorful and moist alternative to traditional meatloaf, featuring a tangy glaze and wholesome ingredients.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a skillet, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic in a bit of oil until softened.
Cook over medium heat to avoid burning the garlic.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked onion and garlic with salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, and ketchup.
Mix thoroughly to distribute the flavors evenly.
Add the oats, yogurt, and egg to the bowl and mix well. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes.
Allowing the mixture to rest helps the oats absorb moisture.
Add the ground turkey to the bowl and mix gently with your hands until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased bread pan, pressing it down evenly.
Grease the pan to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, mix ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar to create the glaze.
Adjust the sweetness of the glaze to your preference.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the turkey loaf.
Use a spatula for an even coating.
Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Use a meat thermometer for accurate doneness.
Let the loaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the loaf moist.
