Description

This Savory Gluten Free Ground Turkey Meatloaf is a delicious, hearty dish perfect for a family dinner. Made with lean ground turkey, gluten free breadcrumbs, and seasoned with Italian spices and smoked paprika, it offers a flavorful twist on the classic meatloaf while being suitable for those avoiding gluten. The use of ketchup and steak sauce in the mixture gives it a tangy and savory depth, making it moist and satisfying.

Ingredients

Meatloaf Mixture

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 egg (room temperature, about 70°F)
  • 3/4 cup Ian’s Gluten Free Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup finely diced onion (1/4-inch pieces)
  • 1.5 tsp garlic (minced or powder)
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 2 tbsp steak sauce (Lea & Perrins recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the meatloaf.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, gluten free breadcrumbs, finely diced onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, pepper, salt, smoked paprika, milk, ketchup, and steak sauce. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a spoon until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Shape Meatloaf: Transfer the mixture to a baking dish or loaf pan, shaping it into a compact loaf form to ensure even cooking.
  4. Bake: Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for about 50 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the top is golden and slightly crispy.
  5. Rest: Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps juices redistribute and keeps the meatloaf moist.
  6. Serve: Slice and serve warm with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.

Notes

  • Ensure the egg is at room temperature to help bind the ingredients better.
  • You can substitute the milk with any preferred dairy-free milk if desired.
  • Use gluten free breadcrumbs to keep the dish gluten free.
  • Letting the meatloaf rest after baking improves texture and flavor.
  • Check internal temperature with a meat thermometer for safety and best results.
