Turkey Meatloaf

I love meatloaf!! It's one of those meals that brings back memories of my childhood. My mom made a mean meatloaf and I loved loved loved it, infact that was what I always asked to have for my birthday dinners. So for you my friends I have a meatloaf recipe that not only is healthy, but delish as well!! Enjoy.

1. 3/4 cup quick cooking oats


2. 1/2 cup skim milk


3. 1 md. onion peeled


4. 2 pounds ground turkey breast


5. 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper


6. 2 eggs beaten


7. 2 tsp. worchestershire sauce


8. 1/4 cup ketchup


9. 1/2 tsp. salt


10. fresh ground black pepper


11. 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a small bowl, stir together the oats and milk. Thinly slice 1/4 of the onion and set aside. Finely chop the remaining onion. In a large bowl combine the turkey, oat mixture, chopped onion, bell pepper, eggs, worchestershire sauce, ketchup, salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix just until well combined.

Transfer the mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish and shape into a loaf about 5 inches wide and 2 1/2 inches high. Pour the tomato sauce over the meatloaf and sprinkle with the sliced onions. Bake for about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10-15 min. before slicing.

Serve this with some fresh broccoli and a sweet potato, and you are set.
