Helpful Tips Before You Start

A few simple steps can help your turkey meatloaf stay moist and make the glaze shine.

Choose Ground Turkey With Some Fat

Ground turkey labeled 93% lean usually makes a juicier meatloaf than extra-lean turkey. If you use very lean turkey, take care not to overbake it.

Mix Gently

Combine the ingredients just until they come together. Overmixing can make the loaf dense and firm.

Shape for Even Cooking

Shape the meatloaf into an even loaf so it cooks at a consistent rate. A rimmed baking sheet lets excess liquid drain away, while a loaf pan helps keep the shape.

Apply Glaze in Layers

Brush on some sauce before baking, then add another layer near the end. This helps prevent sugary glazes from burning while still giving the meatloaf a flavorful finish.

Check the Center Temperature

Use an instant-read thermometer to check the thickest part of the loaf. Ground turkey should reach 165°F before serving.
