Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- In a medium saute pan, over medium-low heat, cook the onions, olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme until translucent, but not browned, approximately 15 minutes. Add the Worcestershire sauce, chicken stock, and tomato paste and mix well. Allow to cool to room temperature.
- Combine the ground turkey, bread crumbs, eggs, and onion mixture in a large bowl. Mix well and shape into a rectangular loaf on an ungreased sheet pan. Spread the ketchup evenly on top. Bake for 1 1/2 hours until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F. and the meatloaf is cooked through. (A pan of hot water in the oven under the meatloaf will keep the top from cracking.) Serve hot, at room temperature, or cold in a sandwich.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking pan with foil and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Add the olive oil to a medium skillet. Saute the bell pepper, onion and the garlic until tender ( about 6 minutes). Stir in the thyme, basil, salt and the pepper and continue to saute for another minute. Add the Worcestershire sauce, ¼ cup of the ketchup and the chicken broth; stir until blended and set aside to cool. For faster cooling transfer mixture to a bowl. Mixture can still be warm when used, just not hot.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, eggs and the bread crumbs. Stir in the green pepper mixture a little at a time until well blended.
- Put the mixture onto the prepared pan. Shape into a loaf about 9 to 10 inches in length. Add the remaining ketchup to the top. Bake for one hour or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
BEST TURKEY MEATLOAF
After much trial and error trying to make a more healthy meatloaf, I came up with this recipe. It is important to make this on a baking sheet so the liquids can be drained off the meatloaf. Also, do not put the topping on before the meatloaf has cooked for 30 minutes. Turkey creates a lot of juices, so if you put the topping on first it will become watery and runny.

MOM'S BEST EVER TURKEY MEATLOAF
This recipe was modified from one I found in a cookbook published by "The Turkey Store". My family, and everyone I have ever served it too love it and can't believe that it is low fat, low cholesterol. And recently I started substituting oatmeal for bread crumbs since my husband's doctor put him on an even stricter diet than before. It is easy, there is no need to sauté the onions, bell pepper and garlic before mixing with the rest of the ingredients. It is also moist and very tasty. I usually serve with baked sweet potatoes and fresh green beans. It makes GREAT sandwiches the next day.
