- Meatloaf:
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 1 cup oats
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 3 tablespoons pear applesauce
- 3 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Sauce:
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped onion
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup barbeque sauce (such as Sweet Baby Ray's®)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Mix ground turkey, oats, 1/2 chopped onion, pear applesauce, 3 tablespoons chili powder, egg, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl; press into an 8-inch square baking dish.
- Heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir 2 tablespoons onion until softened and lightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir brown sugar, barbeque sauce, and 1 teaspoon chili powder into onion; cook over low heat until sauce is warm, about 5 minutes.
- Bake meatloaf in the preheated oven, occasionally brushing sauce over the top, until cooked through, about 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
