Preparation Method Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, onion, celery, carrots, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.
- Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place it in a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- Bake the meatloaf for 45 minutes, or until cooked through.
- While the meatloaf is baking, make the gravy. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the turkey or chicken broth and cornstarch. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until thickened.
- Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the meatloaf with the gravy and your favorite sides.

Special Precautions and Tips:
- Make sure the meatloaf is cooked through before serving. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
- If you don't have a loaf pan, you can shape the meat mixture into a free-form loaf on a baking sheet.
- For a richer gravy, use turkey or chicken stock instead of water.
