After looking at many different turkey meatloaf recipes and not liking any one in particular, I decided to create my own! Add Dijon mustard to sauce for an added flavor.

Ingredients

• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ½ onion, chopped
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 3 tablespoons chili powder
• 2 tablespoons chopped onion
• 1 pound lean ground turkey
• 1 cup oats
• 3 tablespoons pear applesauce
• ½ cup barbeque sauce (such as Sweet Baby Ray's®)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Mix ground turkey, oats, 1/2 chopped onion, pear applesauce, 3 tablespoons chili powder, egg, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl; press into an 8-inch square baking dish.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir 2 tablespoons onion until softened and lightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir brown sugar, barbeque sauce, and 1 teaspoon chili powder into onion; cook over low heat until sauce is warm, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Bake meatloaf in the preheated oven, occasionally brushing sauce over the top, until cooked through, about 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
