Method

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Finely chop the onion, celery, garlic, and green pepper.

   

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, oats, egg, ketchup, and all the chopped vegetables. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until well combined.

   

3. Transfer the mixture into a 9x5-inch loaf pan, smoothing the top. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) on a meat thermometer.

   

4. Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes to lock in the juices, then slice into five portions and serve warm.
