Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add chopped onions to the skillet and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

03

Step
10 mins

In a medium bowl, gently combine the ground turkey, beaten egg, cooled sauteed onion, and panko bread crumbs. Adjust the amount of bread crumbs as needed to achieve a mixture that holds its shape without being too dense. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. (10 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Transfer the mixture to a 9x5 inch loaf pan, pressing it gently to ensure even distribution. Sprinkle the top evenly with poultry seasoning. (5 minutes)

05

Step
1 hrs 30 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours, or until the loaf is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches at least 170 degrees F (77 degrees C) when checked with a meat thermometer. (90 minutes)

06

Step
15 mins

Let the loaf rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful loaf. (15 minutes)

For extra flavor, try adding a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce or a dash of hot sauce to the turkey mixture.
To prevent the loaf from sticking, lightly grease the loaf pan before adding the turkey mixture.
Leftovers are fantastic in sandwiches or crumbled over salads.

    This is a great basic recipe that's easy to customize. I added some garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce, and it was delicious!

  • Laila Parker

    I found that using panko bread crumbs made the loaf a bit lighter. I also added a tablespoon of Dijon mustard for some tang.

  • Noe Greenfelder

    I was surprised how moist this loaf was! My family loved it, and it was perfect for sandwiches the next day.
