Instructions
Preparation Steps
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan with parchment and lightly oil it.
Pulse the gluten-free oats in a food processor until they resemble coarse breadcrumbs. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, processed oats, onion, zucchini, 0.33 cup ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, eggs, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix gently until just combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and shape into a loaf, smoothing the top.
Bake for 35 minutes.
Stir together the remaining 0.33 cup ketchup, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar to make the glaze.
Brush the glaze over the meatloaf and return to the oven for 20 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 165 F.
Rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
Notes
Make it dairy-free by ensuring your Worcestershire sauce is gluten-free and dairy-free. If you prefer, substitute the oats with 1.0 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs. Leftovers keep well refrigerated up to 3 days; reheat gently to avoid drying.
