Italian Turkey and Veggie Meatloaf

Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup onion
  • 1/2 cup yellow bell pepper
  • 1 cup zucchini, finely grated
  • 2 lbs. ground turkey breast
  • 1 cup whole wheat panko bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 tbsp. ketchup
  • 1 tbsp. Dijon Mustard
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp. Italian Seasoning, dried
  • 1 tbsp. salt
  • 3 tsp. pepper
  • 1 cup Marinara

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 Degrees. Saute bell pepper and onion in a cast iron pan with 1 tsp. of olive oil. Cook until they are just starting to soften. Grate Zucchini on the small side of a box grater.
  • Put 2 lbs. of ground turkey breast into a large bowl. Add salt, pepper, Italian season, eggs, ketchup, Dijon, cheese, bread crumbs, zucchini, and the cooked onion and bell pepper.
  • Mix together with your hands. Try not to over mix. Form the small loaves. This should make 8 loaves.
  • Heat a large cast iron skillet on the stove top with 3 tsp. of olive oil. You'll want it on medium high heat. Add the meatloaves when the oil starts to shimmer. You should hear a nice sizzle. Brown on both sides, but do not cook through.
  • Pull the pan off the heat and add the Marinara. Then transfer to the oven for another 7-10 minutes. Check to ensure you do not overcook them. An instant read thermometer is a good tool for this recipe.
