Best Turkey Meatloaf
  1. 1

    Assemble all the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Combine ground turkey, crushed crackers, milk, onion, egg, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Form the mixture into a loaf and set it on the prepared pan.

  4. 4

    For the glaze: Stir together ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl. Set aside.

  5. 5

    Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 30 minutes; remove it from the oven and drain off the liquids. Spread the prepared ketchup glaze over the meatloaf.

  6. 6

    Return the loaf to the oven and bake until the center is no longer pink, about 30 minutes more; an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center should register at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).

  7. 7

    Serve and enjoy.
