For an extra layer of flavor, sauté the chopped onion in a little olive oil until softened before adding it to the meatloaf mixture. Use a high-quality marinara sauce for the best flavor. Homemade sauce is even better! Serve with a side of pasta, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad for a complete meal.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Ensure the rack is in the center position. (5 minutes)
02
Step
10 mins
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the ground turkey, Italian bread crumbs, eggs, finely chopped onion, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper. Add 1 cup of the marinara sauce and fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the meatloaf tender. (10 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Lightly moisten your hands with water to prevent sticking. Transfer the turkey mixture to an 8x4-inch loaf pan and pat it down evenly. Pour the remaining marinara sauce generously over the top of the meatloaf, and sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese for a golden crust. (5 minutes)
04
Step
1 hrs
Bake in the preheated oven until the meatloaf is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C), about 1 hour. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center to check for doneness. (60 minutes)
05
Step
20 mins
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 20 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and moist meatloaf. (20 minutes)
