Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs (or regular bread crumbs)
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
For the glaze:
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp mustard
Optional additions:
- 1/2 cup finely chopped vegetables (such as bell peppers or carrots) for extra flavor and nutrition
- 1 tbsp soy sauce for a deeper umami flavor
Instructions
1. Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, panko bread crumbs, milk, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
3. Shape the mixture into a loaf. Place the meatloaf on a piece of parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier handling.
4. Carefully transfer the meatloaf into the preheated air fryer basket. Make sure there is enough space around the loaf for air to circulate.
5. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes. Check the internal temperature for meatloaf with a meat thermometer; it should reach 165°F (74°C).
6. While the meatloaf is cooking, mix together the glaze ingredients (ketchup, brown sugar, mustard).
7. Once the internal temperature is reached, brush the glaze over the top of the meatloaf. Continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes to set the glaze.
8. Remove the meatloaf from the air fryer and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Letting the meatloaf rest before slicing ensures the juices redistribute, keeping the meatloaf moist and flavorful.
