Ingredients

For the meatloaf:

1 large egg
½ cup milk
½ teaspoon salt

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan lightly or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2: Prepare the Turkey Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped onion, and minced garlic.
Add 1 cup of prepared stuffing, which will give the meatloaf a moist texture and herby flavor.
Mix in the egg, milk, salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika.
Using your hands or a spatula, mix gently until all ingredients are just combined. Avoid overmixing, or the meatloaf could become dense.
