Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Ground turkey
- 8 slices Turkey bacon
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Low-fat milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh parsley
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat a loaf pan or a baking sheet with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, combine the rolled oats and low-fat milk. Let them soak for about 5 minutes to absorb the liquid.
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped onion, minced garlic, soaked oats, egg, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, salt, black pepper, paprika, and parsley. Mix thoroughly with your hands until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on the baking sheet.
Lay the turkey bacon strips over the top of the meatloaf, tucking the ends underneath for a neat appearance.
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for about 55-60 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached.
Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve slices with your favorite low-fat sides like steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
