Turkey Stuffing Meatloaf

This Turkey Stuffing Meatloaf is a delicious way to enjoy the comforting flavors of Thanksgiving in a simple, family-friendly meal. Made with lean ground turkey, savory stuffing mix, fresh vegetables, and a sweet ketchup glaze, every slice is packed with flavor and stays tender and juicy.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1 cup dry stuffing mix
• ½ cup chicken broth
• 1 large egg
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• ½ cup celery, finely chopped
• ¼ cup ketchup
• ½ tsp dried sage
• ¼ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Stuffing

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry stuffing mix and chicken broth. Let stand for 3–5 minutes, allowing the stuffing to absorb the liquid.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

Add the ground turkey, egg, chopped onion, celery, sage, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until everything is evenly combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.

Step 3: Shape and Glaze

Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased loaf pan. Gently press into an even shape and spread the ketchup over the top.

Step 4: Bake

Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes, or until the center reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 5: Rest and Serve

Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!

Helpful Tips

• Let the stuffing absorb the broth before adding the turkey.
• Mix gently to prevent a dense texture.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey is fully cooked.
• Allow the loaf to rest before slicing for cleaner, juicier pieces.

Serving Suggestions

Pair this comforting meatloaf with creamy mashed potatoes, roasted green beans, glazed carrots, or cranberry sauce for a delicious holiday-inspired dinner.
