How to Make Glazed Ground Turkey Meatloaf
- Preheat oven to 350℉.
- Add ground turkey, breadcrumbs, minced onion, garlic, carrots, spinach, Mozzarella cheese, ketchup, parsley, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper into a large bowl.
- Mix until everything is fully incorporated. (Sometimes clean hands work best for this step.)
- Place in a loaf pan that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray, or line a sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil and pour meat on the prepared pan then use your hands to form into a loaf shape, trying to keep it level so it cooks evenly.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- While baking, mix glaze ingredients together. Remove meatloaf from oven and brush glaze over top.
- Place back in the oven for another 30 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165℉.
- Remove and let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with chopped parsley to garnish if desired.
Recipe Notes
You could most use ground beef instead of ground turkey. It would be an easy switch. The ingredients, cooking time, temperature and everything else would be the exact same. We just like turkey because it has a little more nutritional value than beef, but you can purchase a very lean beef.

Did You Make This Recipe?We’d love to hear your thoughts! Leave a review or a question in the comment section below the post.
I love your recipes. I notice that the mozzarella has a ? mark instead of a numerical value. I wasn’t sure if that was supposed to be a choose how much mozzarella you want to put in your meatloaf or if it was a typo.
The flavor of this meatloaf is really good! Mine had a lot of liquid at the bottom – is that normal? Also, it fell apart really easily, so I’m wondering if I should cook it longer than the recommended 60 minutes.
This is the best recipe and I make it on a regular basis. So moist, great flavor, and even better on second day! Thank u SO much for such an excellent recipe that my whole family loves!
