How to Make Barefoot Contessa's Turkey Meatloaf

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Sauté 1 large onion, chopped, in 2 tablespoons olive oil until translucent, about 15 minutes.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 cup chicken stock, and 2 tablespoons tomato paste. Mix well and simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Allow the onion mixture to cool completely to room temperature.
  5. In a large bowl, combine 2 pounds ground turkey, 1 cup breadcrumbs, 1 large egg, and the cooled onion mixture. Gently mix until just combined.
  6. Shape the mixture into a rectangular loaf on an ungreased baking sheet.
  7. Spread 1/2 cup ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
  8. Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center registers 160°F (71°C). Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
