Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground turkey (93% lean or higher)
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup oatmeal
- 1 cup low-fat pizza sauce
- 1.5 cups reduced-fat shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, egg, oatmeal, 1/2 cup of the pizza sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, red bell pepper, and fresh basil. Mix well until ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan, pressing gently to shape it evenly into a loaf.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the remaining 1/2 cup of pizza sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top, followed by the parmesan cheese.
Return the loaf pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice and serve warm with a side of salad or steamed vegetables.
