Delicious Turkey Loaf Recipe for a Hearty Meal

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Make sure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  2. Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, bread crumbs, egg, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.

    Mix thoroughly but do not overwork the meat.
  3. Shape the Loaf

    Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan and shape into a loaf.

    Use a spatula to smooth the top for a nice presentation.
  4. Bake the Loaf

    Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour.

    Check for doneness with a meat thermometer; it should read 165°F (74°C).
  5. Let it Rest

    Remove the loaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

    Resting allows the juices to redistribute for a moister loaf.
