Ingredients

Scale

Meatloaf Mixture

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 cup stuffing mix
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 egg
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Topping

  • 1/4 cup ketchup

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the meatloaf to a safe and delicious temperature.
  2. Prepare Stuffing Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the stuffing mix and chicken broth. Let it sit for a few minutes until the broth is fully absorbed, creating a moist base.
  3. Mix Meatloaf Ingredients: Add the ground turkey, egg, finely chopped onion, celery, salt, black pepper, dried sage, and garlic powder to the bowl with the stuffing mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.
  4. Form Meatloaf: Transfer the mixture to a greased loaf pan, pressing it down evenly to form the shape of a meatloaf.
  5. Add Ketchup Topping: Spread the 1/4 cup of ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf to create a flavorful glaze.
  6. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), ensuring the meatloaf is cooked through and safe to eat.
  7. Rest and Serve: Remove from oven and let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain juices and improves texture.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
  • For added flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like parsley or thyme to the mixture.
  • Leftover meatloaf slices can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
  • To make this recipe gluten-free, use a gluten-free stuffing mix.
  • Make sure to grease the loaf pan well to prevent the meatloaf from sticking.
