Turkey Meatloaf

Per the request of one of our readers, here is a solid meatloaf recipe. I use ground turkey instead of beef because I'm not a huge beef fan and because the turkey is leaner and healthier. The peppers and onions help to keep the turkey moist and add flavor to what can sometimes be a boring dish! Before baking I add a mixture of ketchup and Worcestershire sauce to the top...you could also add a TBS or so of brown sugar to make it extra tasty...we all like that sweet crispy part on top, don't deny it!

Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey
1 egg
1/2 cup bread crumbs
2 TBS. ketchup
2 TBS. Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup peppers, diced (I used green, red and yellow peppers)
1/4 cup onion, diced
2 TBS. olive oil
Salt & Pepper

1. Dice the peppers and onions and cook in a medium-heat saute pan with olive oil and a dash of salt and pepper until peppers and onions are tender.

2. In a bowl, mix together ground turkey, egg, bread crumbs, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce.

3. When the peppers & onions mixture is cooled, add to turkey mixture and mix all together.

4. Place the mixture on a baking sheet and form into a "loaf" shape.

5. Mix together a little bit of ketchup and Worcestershire sauce and spread on top of the meatloaf.

6. Place in a 350 degree oven for 40 - 45 minutes.
