Equipment

  • Rimmed baking sheet (or 9×5-inch loaf pan)
  • Mixing bowl
  • Skillet
  • Instant-read thermometer

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds ground turkey 93% lean
  • 2 cups dry stuffing mix
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth plus up to ¼ cup more if needed
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup finely diced yellow onion
  • ½ cup finely diced celery
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Cranberry-Ketchup Glaze recommended
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick spray.
  • In a medium bowl, stir stuffing mix with 1 cup broth. Let sit 5 minutes to soften. If it still looks dry, add broth 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, sauté onion and celery for 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Remove from heat to cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, hydrated stuffing, sautéed vegetables, eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix gently just until combined.
  • Shape mixture into a loaf on the prepared baking sheet (about 10×4 inches). Bake 35 minutes.
  • Stir together glaze ingredients. After 35 minutes, spread half the glaze over the meatloaf. Bake 10 minutes.
  • Brush on remaining glaze. Bake another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the center reaches 165°F.
  • Rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Don’t overmix the turkey mixture. Mix just until everything is evenly combined.
For extra moisture, add 2 tablespoons of broth to the meatloaf mixture before shaping if your turkey is very lean.
Nutrition values will vary by brand of stuffing mix and turkey used.
