Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil for pan and sauté
  • 1 small yellow onion finely minced
  • 3 clove garlic minced
  • 2 lb lean ground turkey 93% lean
  • 0.75 cup gluten-free rolled oats or GF quick oats
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.25 cup ketchup for meatloaf mixture
  • 1 tbsp gluten-free Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 0.25 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk optional, for moisture
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1.25 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 0.5 cup ketchup for glaze
  • 1.5 tbsp maple syrup for glaze
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar for glaze

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed sheet pan with foil and lightly brush with olive oil.
  • Warm a skillet over medium heat. Add remaining olive oil, then onion and garlic. Cook, stirring, until softened and translucent, about 4 to 5 minutes. Cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, gluten-free oats, eggs, 0.25 cup ketchup, Worcestershire, Dijon, parsley, almond milk, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the cooled onion mixture.
  • Mix gently with a fork or clean hands until just combined—do not overmix. Transfer to the prepared pan and shape into a 9 x 5 inch loaf.
  • Stir the glaze: whisk 0.5 cup ketchup with maple syrup and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl.
  • Brush the loaf with half of the glaze. Bake for 30 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, brush with the remaining glaze, and return to bake until the center reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 20 to 25 minutes more.
  • Rest the meatloaf for 10 minutes to set juices. Slice and serve.
  • Optional: Broil for 2 to 3 minutes before resting to lightly caramelize the glaze.

Notes

Use certified gluten-free oats or substitute the same volume of gluten-free breadcrumbs. For dairy-free, keep almond milk or omit if your turkey is very moist. Leftovers keep 3 to 4 days refrigerated or freeze slices up to 3 months.
