Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 0.5 cup oats
- 2 egg whites
- 1 large onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 15 ounce low-sodium canned diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, sautéing until they are translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, oats, egg whites, sauteed onions and garlic, half of the canned tomatoes (drained), chopped parsley, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard.
Mix all the ingredients well with your hands or a spatula until fully combined, but be careful not to over-mix as this can make the meatloaf tough.
Place the meatloaf mixture into a loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Evenly spread the remaining half of the canned tomatoes over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm. Enjoy your heart-healthy meal!
