- 1 small (finely diced) yellow onion
- 1 small (finely diced) red bell pepper
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic

- 1 teaspoon dried oregano

- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, shredded zucchini, shredded carrot, diced onion, and diced red bell pepper.
Add minced garlic, rolled oats, egg whites, Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons of ketchup, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Using clean hands or a sturdy spoon, mix all ingredients together until well-combined, ensuring the vegetables and seasonings are evenly distributed throughout.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to create an even, compact layer.
Spread the remaining 2 tablespoons of ketchup evenly across the top of the meatloaf for a flavorful glaze.
Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Low Fat Turkey in the Garden Meatloaf!
