1 cup white mushrooms small dice (112g) $0.94 *
¾ tsp salt divided, $0.03
⅓ cup milk $0.09
1 large egg $0.41
5 Tbsp ketchup divided, $0.15
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce $0.05
1 lb ground turkey $3.94 **
1 cup panko bread crumbs $0.47
¼ tsp garlic powder $0.02
¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper $0.03
2 Tbsp BBQ sauce $0.10 ***

Instructions

Gather your ingredients.
Preheat your oven to 400℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium and sauté yellow onion, mushrooms, and ¼ tsp of salt until soft, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the milk, egg, 2 Tbsp of ketchup, and the Worcestershire sauce.
Then, in a separate large bowl, combine the cooked onions and mushrooms, ground turkey, panko breadcrumbs, ¼ tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp black pepper, and ½ tsp salt.
Slowly pour the wet ingredient mix into the large bowl and mix well with a fork or your hands, being careful not to overmix.
Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place it onto a lined baking sheet. The loaf should be about 4 inches wide, 8 inches long, and 2 inches tall. ****
In a small bowl, combine 3 Tbsp ketchup and the BBQ sauce and spread evenly on top of the loaf.
Bake in a preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 170℉. Allow meatloaf to cool for 5-10 minutes, and then slice to serve and enjoy!

Notes

*Either white whole mushrooms or cremini mushrooms (Baby Bella's) can be used.

**I use a lean ground turkey (93% lean, 7% fat). I don't recommend using extra lean ground turkey as the fat helps to keep the turkey meatloaf moist during baking.

***You can use any brand of BBQ sauce you love, or even make your own with our easy homemade BBQ sauce recipe!

****If you're preparing this for a smaller crowd, the meatloaf can be formed into two smaller loaves and frozen to be enjoyed another time. It will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
