Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds lean ground turkey
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 medium, finely chopped green bell pepper
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup low-sodium tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons, chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup low-sodium ketchup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped green bell pepper.
Add in the egg, rolled oats, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, chopped parsley, dried oregano, dried basil, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly with clean hands or a spoon until evenly combined.
Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Transfer the meat mixture into the pan and press it down evenly to form a loaf shape.
Spread the low-sodium ketchup evenly over the top of the loaf for a flavorful glaze.
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Slice and serve warm with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
