Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients and a sturdy mixing bowl.

  3. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, sautéed vegetables, Worcestershire sauce, egg, and milk. Mix gently until just combined.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a greased baking sheet or loaf pan, forming it into a loaf shape, about 2 inches high and 4 inches wide.
  5. Whisk ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard in a small bowl. Spread the glaze over the meatloaf evenly.
