In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, garlic, egg, ½ cup ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined—be careful not to overmix. - Shape the loaf:
Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan or form it into a loaf shape on the baking sheet. - Add the topping:
Spread an even layer of ketchup over the top of the meatloaf. - Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). - Rest and serve:
