Ingredients

  • ½ cup warm water
  • 1 packet (about 1 oz) dry onion soup mix
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup ketchup
  • 1½ cups bread crumbs, plain or Italian
  • 2 lb ground turkey (90–93% lean)
  • 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce, optional

Steps

  1. Dissolve the soup mix. Heat the oven to 350°F. Stir the onion soup mix into the warm water until fully dissolved.
  2. Add the eggs and ketchup. Add the eggs and ketchup to the soup mixture and stir until blended.
  3. Add the crumbs. Stir in the bread crumbs until evenly mixed.
  4. Add the meat. Add the turkey one pound at a time, mixing well after each addition so it is fully incorporated with everything else.
  5. Bake. Pack the mixture into a loaf pan. If using the tomato sauce, pour it over the top. Bake 1½ hours, until cooked through.

Notes

  • Tomato sauce topping: pouring the can of tomato sauce over the loaf before baking adds moisture and flavor.
  • Beef version: the same recipe works with 2 lb lean ground beef.
