This basic turkey meatloaf recipe has been my staple recipe for years. It’s super simple and easy to make so I thought I’d share it with you.
Ground turkey breast tends to get a little dry since it is low in fat, so I always add a good bit of water to the bottom of the roasting pan. I also like to baste the meatloaf in the water/cooking juices a few time throughout cooking too.
While I made this recipe with ground turkey, it also works well with ground beef. Serve it with homemade mashed potatoes for a very tasty and filling meal.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground turkey breast
- 1 egg
- 1/2 – 3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine all ingredients and mix well. Adjust your amount of bread crumbs and milk until your turkey can be formed nicely and will hold it’s loaf shape.
- Shape your meatloaf as desired and place in a well oiled roasting pan. Add 1/2 cup of water and cover.
- Bake for 1 hour, remove from oven and add more water if needed. Cook for additional 30 minutes or until nicely browned.
