Low Fat Delicious Turkey Meatloaf
I think people fear meatloaf because they think of it and picture some mystery meat from the cafeteria. Let me tell you guys.. meatloaf is such a great meal because it's loaded with protein and flavor. It also yields so many servings and holds well throughout the week which comes in handy for leftovers. If you like burgers, you will like my meatloaf. My consistency isn't mushy. It maintains the feel of ground meat that we all love.For the topping, I like to use a tomato based sauce. Traditional meatloaf brushes either ketchup or bbq on top of it but I find this to be tastier and fresher. It also saves you the sugar content from those sauces.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Ground Turkey 93% lean (do not buy turkey breast)
- 1 White Onion
- 1/4 c Breadcrumbs I used Panko but you can use whichever you prefer
- 2 Large Eggs
- 2 tbs Fresh Parsley
- 2 tbs Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 Garlic Cloves, Minced
Sauce
- 8 oz Tomato Sauce
- 14.5 oz Diced Tomatoes I like the one with basil, garlic and oregano for this recipe
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375
- Dice your onion. Spray skillet with non stick and add your onion. Saute on medium high heat until they reach a caramel translucent color. About 15-20 min. Let them cool down a bit.
- In a large mixing bowl, add your ground turkey and mix it up to break down the ground meat. I prefer to use my hands for this process so I recommend wearing gloves. If not, you can just use a spatula to mix.
- Whisk your two eggs and add to turkey mixture along with all the rest of the ingredients. Mix mix mix!
- Once your onions have cooled down a little, add them to turkey mixture and mix well
- Get your loaf pan and spray it with non stick.. Add turkey mixture and spread it nice and even.
- Bake at 375 for 50-60 minutes- until it reaches a nice brown color. (It wont be dark brown because its turkey so dont burn it!)
- While your meatloaf is cooking, add a saucepan to your stove on low heat. Add the tomato sauce and diced tomatoes and stir well.
- When your meatloaf is done, you may notice some fat has risen to the top. You can just remove that. Slice and serve. Top with sauce and enjoy!
