This savory turkey loaf recipe is a delightful twist on the classic meatloaf, featuring a flavorful herb glaze that enhances its taste.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, parsley, garlic, onion, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and breadcrumbs. Mix until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender.
Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a greased baking pan.
Use wet hands to prevent sticking while shaping the loaf.
In a small bowl, mix the ketchup and Worcestershire sauce for the glaze. Spread it evenly over the loaf.
Use a spatula for an even application of the glaze.
Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until fully cooked.
Check the internal temperature to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C).
Let the loaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the loaf moist.
