Ingredients
1 pound Ground turkey (85% lean)
½ cup Rolled oats (regular, dry)
1 Egg
1 tablespoon Onion (dehydrated or minced fresh)
¼ cup Ketchup
2 Celery stalks (chopped)
2 Garlic cloves (minced)
½ Green bell pepper (seeded and diced)
Directions
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before beginning food preparation.
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, oats, egg, onion, ketchup, celery, garlic, and green pepper. Using your hands or a large spoon, mix all ingredients together until just combined; do not overmix.
Transfer the mixture to a 9x5-inch loaf pan, pressing it gently into an even layer.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meatloaf reads 165°F.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Cut the meatloaf into five equal slices and serve warm.
Comments
Every ingredient is standard stock at Charlotte chains—ground turkey is widely available year-round, oats and eggs are pantry staples, and the aromatics and ketchup are cheap and familiar. The stated 40 minutes does not account for baking time; expect 55 to 60 minutes total from start to plate, which is honest weeknight fare but not quick. At roughly 1.50 to 2.00 per serving driven by the ground turkey, this is solidly economical and reheats beautifully for lunches. The recipe is forgiving, hands-off once mixed, and feeds a family without fuss, though it lacks any seasonal North Carolina touch or standout flavor profile that would elevate it beyond competent comfort food.
