JesseEatzA high-protein, performance-driven version of a classic meatloaf using lean turkey, sustained-energy oats, and a sugar-free glaze for maximum flavor with zero guilt.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, rolled oats, egg, diced onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix by hand until just combined—do not overwork the meat.
Overmixing turkey can lead to a dense, tough texture. Keep it light!
Transfer the mixture to your prepared pan and shape it into a uniform loaf.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar-free ketchup, apple cider vinegar, and garlic powder to create the glaze.
Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf. Bake in the center rack for 45 minutes.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven, apply the remaining glaze, and bake for another 10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Let the meatloaf rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing into 5 oz portions to ensure the juices redistribute and it holds its shape.
Resting is the most important step for a moist turkey meatloaf!
This meatloaf is a performance beast. Using oats instead of breadcrumbs provides a better texture and slower-burning carbs. For the best results, don't overmix the turkey or it can become tough. Let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing to keep all those juices inside.
