BBQ Turkey Meatloaf is an easy and healthy main dish the whole family will love. Sneaky vegetables keep it juicy and add extra goodness to your dinner!
Chop and dry the vegetables: Place the carrot, celery, onions, parsley and garlic in a food processor and process until finely chopped (but don't turn it into a paste!). Place 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the processed vegetables and gently cook until dried out and starting to brown. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
Prep: At this point, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment.
Make the meatloaf mix: Place all remaining ingredients EXCEPT for the BBQ sauce into a large bowl. Add the cooled vegetable mix and, using a hand mixer with the hook attachment, mix thoroughly until the meat mix sticks together and all the vegetables are evenly distributed.
Shape and bake: Place the meat mix on the prepared baking sheet and shape into a loaf. Make sure you push it together into a firm loaf, otherwise it will fall apart. Brush with ⅓ of the BBQ sauce and bake for 30 minutes. Brush with another ⅓ of the BBQ sauce and finish baking for another 20-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature has reached 165°F. Immediately brush with the remaining BBQ sauce and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing to serve.
