Ground turkey is so versatile. Use it in Thai Turkey Meatball Curry, Turkey Sloppy Joe Stuffed Potatoes, and this meaty and savory turkey meatloaf with mushrooms.

There is just something about a delicious homemade meatloaf. It’s like a big warm hug of homemade goodness. Meatloaf is one of the #1 requests of my personal chef clients. And this turkey meatloaf with mushrooms is one my clients love when they are looking for a lightened up version of of traditional ground beef meatloaf.

Even if you aren’t a mushroom fan, you will love this meatloaf. The finely chopped mushrooms (use a food processor to do the work for you) melt right into the meatloaf as it bakes. They add umami flavor or the essence of deliciousness to the turkey meatloaf.

the ingredients for turkey meatloaf with mushrooms

Ground turkey can be a little bland. Each of the ingredients in this savory meatloaf adds to its deliciousness. One of the key ingredients, cremini mushrooms, adds the meaty and savory taste that deepens the flavor of the turkey meatloaf.

  • cremini mushrooms ~ my first choice, but you can use white button mushrooms too.
  • onion
  • celery
  • garlic
  • ground turkey
  • seasoned bread crumbs
  • large egg
  • ketchup
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • kosher salt
  • pepper

chef cooking tips for a delicious and moist turkey meatloaf with mushrooms

Using these cooking tips can help ensure a delicious, flavorful, tender, and juicy turkey meatloaf every time.

  • Finely chop the mushroom, onion, and celery. They add moisture to the meatloaf. A food processor makes quick work of this task.
  • Skip the extra lean ground turkey for this recipe. Lean ground turkey (usually 93% lean) will add the needed fat for a tasty meatloaf.
  • Add flavor and moisture to the turkey meatloaf by including egg, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce.
  • Don’t overmix the ingredients. This results in a dense and heavy meatloaf.
  • Use a digital thermometer to cook the turkey meatloaf to 165 degrees F. Overcooking leads to a dry and tasteless meatloaf.
  • Bake the meatloaf on a foil lined baking sheet and not in a loaf pan. The meatloaf will steam in the loaf pan and will not have the smoky caramelized edges that are so flavorful.

how to make an easy homemade gravy

Are you a gravy lover? It takes just a few minutes to make a rich and herby gravy for homemade meatloaf.

In a small saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon flour and stir to combine. Cook for about 1 minute. Slowly whisk in 1 cup of chicken stock. Continue cooking for 3 to 5 minutes or until the desired thickness. Stir in some chopped fresh parsley. Season to taste with kosher salt and pepper.

If you are not a gravy fan, pour about 1/4 cup of warm chicken stock over the sliced meatloaf to make it extra juicy and tasty. This will also keep any leftovers fresh testing after they are reheated.

Description

This is an unbelievably tender and loaded with flavor turkey meatloaf with mushrooms recipe. A lighter version of the classic beef meatloaf, this juicy and delicious meatloaf gets a boost in umami flavor from cremini mushrooms.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups chopped cremini mushrooms
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped

  • 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Set aside.
  2. Put mushrooms, onion, celery, and garlic into the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Pulse 5 to 10 times or until the vegetables are finely chopped. Place the vegetables into a large bowl.

  4. Gently mix the ingredients until just combined.
