- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 3 cloves garlic

💡 Chef's tip
Bake it free-form on a lined sheet so the surface browns and the glaze caramelizes rather than steaming in a loaf pan.
Grated vegetables like onion and zucchini add moisture to lean turkey, keeping the meatloaf tender instead of dry the way ground turkey can become.
