Scale
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 pounds ground turkey
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs

Instructions
- Set oven to 325 degrees F. In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add olive oil.
- Once the oil is heated, add onion, bell pepper, garlic, salt, pepper and thyme. Saute until vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes. Add tomato paste and saute until vegetables take on the paste’s red color, about 2 minutes. Set pan aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, add turkey, breadcrumbs, egg and Worcestershire sauce. Add cooled vegetables on top. Mix well, being sure everything is well-combined, but be sure not to overmix.
- Press turkey mixture into a 9×5 inch bread pan, using the pan as a mold. Invert meatloaf into a 9×13 inch baking pan. Spread ketchup on top.
- Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until an inserted thermometer reaches 160 degrees F.
