- 2 tablespoons of milk creating a moist and tender texture in the turkey meatballs, ensuring they are juicy and flavorful.
- 1 garlic clove minced, adding a fragrant and pungent note that elevates the taste of the meatballs.
- 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs adding a subtle crunch and helping to bind the ingredients together, resulting in a moist and tender texture.
- 1/2 medium onion finely diced, providing a savory and aromatic base that enhances the overall flavor profile.
- 1 medium carrot grated or finely chopped, supplying natural sweetness and a vibrant color to the dish.
For the tomato glaze:

- 1/4 cup of rich and tangy ketchup providing a sweet and savory base for the glaze.
Instructions
- To begin with, preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, zucchini, onion, milk, garlic cloves, carrots, celery stalks, thyme, and oregano together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Use your hands to mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and shape it into a loaf.
- In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, balsamic vinegar, and brown sugar for the tomato glaze. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours or until cooked through.
- Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and then pour the tomato glaze over the meatloaf. Spread it evenly and serve.
Notes
- Make sure to mix all the ingredients together well before transferring it into a loaf pan. This will ensure that every bite has an even amount of flavor.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and produce a juicy, flavorful dish.
- Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices. You can also add other vegetables or cheeses like feta cheese for extra flavor.
