Steps:
- Set oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Line rimmed baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil; grease the foil with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.
- Make the BBQ glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Set aside.
- Make the Meatloaf: Heat the olive oil in a small sauté pan over medium heat. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 to 2 minutes more. Do not brown. Set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, eggs, and ¼ cup of the BBQ glaze. Whisk until well combined. Stir in the onion mixture. Add the ground turkey and breadcrumbs and mix with your hands until evenly combined.
- Transfer the meat mixture into two even piles onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape into two long loaves about 1½ in high x 6 in long x 4 in wide. Spread the remaining BBQ glaze over the loaves, letting it drip down the sides a bit. Bake for about 45 minutes, until the meatloaves are cooked through. Scrape any fat away from the sides of the loaves, then transfer the loaves to a platter. Slice and garnish with parsley if desired.
- Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cooked meatloaf can be frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, defrost it in the refrigerator for 24 hours and then reheat it in a 300°F oven until hot in the middle.

UPSIDE-DOWN BARBEQUE MEATLOAF
When I've made 'barbeque meatloaf' before I've simply used the standard spoon-the-glaze-on-top-of-the-loaf-and-bake-it method. This time I wanted to line the loaf pan with some of the sauce, press the meat in, and let it roast in the goodness. I was envisioning a beautiful, glossy finish when I turned it on to the serving platter. It wasn't quite as aesthetically pleasing as I hoped (ugly). But, hey--this is quick and dirty home cooking. It may not have looked good, but it tasted fine!

Tips:
- Choose fresh, lean ground turkey for the best results. Fattier ground turkey can make the meatloaf greasy.
- Use a variety of vegetables in the meatloaf to add flavor and texture. Some good options include onions, carrots, celery, and bell peppers.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough.
- Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches. A smaller pan will make the meatloaf too thick and it will not cook evenly.
- Bake the meatloaf at a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the meatloaf cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Conclusion:
Barbecue turkey meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover turkey after Thanksgiving or Christmas.
