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.)

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.

Tips:
- Choose the right ground turkey. Look for ground turkey that is at least 93% lean. This will help to ensure that your meatloaf is not too dry.
- Add moisture to the meatloaf. Ground turkey can be a bit dry, so it's important to add some moisture to the meatloaf. This can be done by adding eggs, milk, or broth to the mixture.
- Use a variety of seasonings. Seasonings are what give meatloaf its flavor, so don't be afraid to experiment. Some popular seasonings for turkey meatloaf include garlic, onion, parsley, sage, and thyme.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf. Overmixing the meatloaf can make it tough. Simply mix the ingredients until they are just combined.
- Bake the meatloaf at a moderate temperature. The ideal temperature for baking turkey meatloaf is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help to prevent the meatloaf from drying out.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing it. Once the meatloaf is done baking, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing it. This will help to keep the meatloaf moist.
Conclusion:
Turkey meatloaf is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef meatloaf. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little creativity, you can create a turkey meatloaf that your family and friends will love.
