Juicy ground turkey meatloaf loaded with veggies and topped with a sweet ketchup glaze.
For the meatloaf, preheat oven to 350F degrees . Preheat a large pan over medium heat with 2 teaspoons of olive oil for 2 minutes. Add the onions, celery, carrots, red peppers, dried thyme, ½ teaspoon salt, and a couple crack of black pepper. Cook for 8 minutes, stirring a few times. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 6 minutes or until all the veggies has shrunken down. Check for seasoning, you will most likely need to add a little more salt. Set the pan aside and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add the ground turkey, egg, tamari, 3 tablespoons of ketchup, 1 teaspoon salt, and a few cracks of pepper. Add the veggie mixture and mix very well using your hands.
Pour the turkey mixture into a meatloaf pan, pack it well, and set aside. Make the ketchup glaze by combing the remaining ½ cup ketchup and maple syrup in a small bowl, mix well. Spoon enough glaze over the top of the meatloaf to cover it well, save any leftover glaze for later. Place the loaf pan on a sheet tray and bake for roughly 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature in the middle of the loaf is 160F degrees.
