Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and grease it lightly.
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion in olive oil until soft (about 3–4 minutes). Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds before removing from heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Fold in the sautéed onion and garlic mixture.
- Mix in breadcrumbs and ground turkey gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Shape the mixture into a loaf on the prepared baking sheet.
- For the glaze, combine ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl and brush it over the meatloaf.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 45–60 minutes or until an internal temperature of at least 165°F is reached. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
