Ingredients

  • ½ cup barbecue sauce divided
  • ⅓ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 20 ounces ground turkey I prefer 93%

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375℉. Line a quarter sheet pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine ¼ cup of the barbecue sauce, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, parsley, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until the ingredients are evenly mixed.
  • Add the ground turkey. Using a fork, mix until the sauce is evenly incorporated into the turkey. Shape the meatloaf mixture into an oval on the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. Spread the remaining ¼ cup of barbecue sauce over the top of the meatloaf. Bake for another 10-15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160℉. Rest the meatloaf for 10-15 minutes. The temperature will rise to 165℉ while the meatloaf rests. Slice and serve.

Notes

  1. Overmixing can create tough meatloaf. To avoid overmixing, stir all of the ingredients except the ground meat together first. Then, using a fork, gently fold the ground meat with the other ingredients until just combined.
  2. Ground turkey needs to reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove the meatloaf from the oven when it reaches 160 degrees. The internal temperature will rise another 5 degrees while the meatloaf rests.
  3. A loaf pan is not required. Using a sheet pan allows for more heat circulation which promotes caramelization on all sides of the meatloaf.
  4. Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days.
