The Best Gluten-Free Turkey Meatloaf Recipe We Eat Weekly
I can’t believe I have yet to blog this turkey meatloaf recipe. I have mentioned it for the past few years in my recap posts but never designated a blog just for it. The thing about this turkey meatloaf is that we usually make it when we don’t know what to have for dinner. It’s one of those go-to recipes that we always have the ingredients for. Its as easy as throwing everything into a bowl, mixing, and placing it in the oven. We make this almost weekly, and never tire of it.
When I make this turkey loaf, I always double the recipe because meatloaf is even better the next day. And leftovers simply mean I don’t have to cook dinner the following night. For this recipe, you can customize it any way you’d like. Sometimes, we get fancy and add extra vegetables or even potatoes. Today, I’m sharing my favorite way to make it. I promise you’ll love this recipe and want to make it weekly, just like us! It’s incredibly flavorful and perfect paired with potatoes or tossed salad. I think meatloaf is always in season and can be made winter, summer, or fall! ♥️
Gluten-Free Turkey Meatloaf
Ingredients
Turkey Meatloaf
- 2 lbs Ground Turkey I use 1 lb 99% fat free & 1 lb 93% fat free
- 2 large Eggs
- 1/2 small Red Onion chopped
- 3/4 cups Gluten-Free Italian Bread Crumbs Ian's Brand
- 1 tbsp Gluten-Free Soy Sauce
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
- 1 tbsp Brown Sugar or honey
Meatloaf Glaze
- 3/4 cup Ketchup
- 1 tbsp Yellow Mustard
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar or honey
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 385-degrees
- In a large bowl, mix the ground turkey, eggs, onion, Italian bread crumbs, soy sauce, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and brown sugar together.
- Form three even loafs and add them to a non-greased oven-safe pan.
- Create the glaze. Mix the ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar together until smooth.
- Coat the loaves with the glaze and sprinkle black pepper on top. I poke holes into the loaf while spreading the glaze that way it cooks into the loaf.
- Bake the loaf in the oven for about 35-minutes. Meatloaf should read 175 to 185 on a thermometer for the perfect temp.
- Allow the meatloaf to cool and slice!
I’m excited for you to try out this meatloaf recipe! We had this for dinner last night with my sweet thyme roasted potatoes and tossed salad. I’ll make sure to get the potato recipe up if you’re interested 😊

Thanks so much, Manda!
Meatloaf is one of the best staples! 😊
Definitely need that potato recipe, it sounds so good!! My husband recently had to go gluten free for health reasons and your blog has been so very helpful in finding recipes – thank you! This might end up my go-to weekly recipe now!
So happy to hear my blog is useful for cooking for your husband! Eventually, you’ll get the hang of it and gluten-free cooking/baking will be so easy and you won’t even have to think about it!
♥️ and i’ll definitely get that potato recipe up!
This recipe is so delicious!! we had it for dinner tonight and we all loved it, I may have to add this to the weekly meal plan. our go to meal most weeks is mango chicken curry with cauliflower rice, its just so good. my favourite ingredient to add to chicken meatloaf is spiced apricot sauce I place it on the top and it makes it all sticky and delicious, sometimes I also add rolled oats if I don’t have bread crumbs. hope you have a great week!!
P.S loving the new blog layout and style
Thanks so much for sharing, Harriet!
Did you use small log pans ?
I love topping my meatloaf with bacon! Also I form them into individual mini meat loaves, that way it cooks in about half the time!
We love meatloaf and always use turkey as well. My family always tops it with bacon and ketchup but I want to try your glaze. Adding the brown sugar for sweetness definitely sounds yummy!
Oh def!! I bet the brown sugar would glaze the bacon you add perfectly, too!
I made this and it was AMAZING! Even my husband loved it and he is SUPER picky about meatloaf. Thank you!!
YAY!!! I’m so happy to hear that. Thanks for sharing your feedback!!
Made this for dinner last night and it was absolutely delicious! I will definitely be making it again.
I’m so happy you enjoyed! 😊
Great recipe and turned out very good. Just added fresh jalapeños to the mix. Turned out perfect. Thanks again
Great idea adding jalapeños!
For the gluten free breadcrumbs- we have yet to find one we like. I notice you identified Ian’s, but I only see Panko for therm. Do you add Ian’s gf Panko to this? Or actually Italian gluten free breadcrumbs?
I made this for supper and it was delicious! I only made 1/3 of the amount of glaze and that was enough. Excellent recipe I will be making again. Thanks!
