Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, crushed Ritz crackers, onion, carrot, zucchini, egg, milk, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Shape the mixture into a loaf about 8 inches long and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Spread the ketchup evenly over the top of the loaf.
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Squeezing the grated zucchini in a clean towel prevents excess moisture from making the loaf soggy. If you prefer a sweeter topping, stir a teaspoon of brown sugar into the ketchup before spreading it on. Leftovers reheat well in a 350-degree oven for 10 minutes to keep the crust from softening.Course: Main Course
