Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 egg 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped yellow bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup dry, unseasoned bread crumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
  2. In a large bowl combine the turkey, egg, salsa, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, onion, bread crumbs and oregano.
  3. Mix well with hands until blended. Roll into a small loaf and place on a foil-lined baking sheet (or use a 9x5-inch loaf pan sprayed lightly with cooking spray and place directly on oven rack).
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 165° F.

Variations: If you like your vegetables less crunchy, heat 1 teaspoon canola or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the peppers and onions and sauté until tender. Use any color combination of red, orange, yellow or green peppers to equal 1/2 cup of peppers. Add 1/4 cup shredded carrots for even more vegetable goodness. Serve meatloaf with additional salsa and Sour Cream and Garlic Mashed Potatoes.
