Ingredients
- 1 pound 85% lean ground turkey
- 1 egg
- ½ cup salsa
- ¼ cup chopped red bell pepper
- ¼ cup chopped yellow bell pepper
- ½ cup chopped onion
- ½ cup dry, unseasoned bread crumbs
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- In a large bowl combine the turkey, egg, salsa, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, onion, bread crumbs and oregano.
- 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).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 165° F.
Variations & Tips
- If you like your vegetables less crunchy, cook before adding them to the meatloaf. Heat skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add 1 teaspoon canola or olive oil. Once oil is warm, add peppers and onions and sauté until tender.
- Use any color combination of red, orange, yellow, or green peppers to equal ½ cup total.
- Add ¼ cup shredded carrots for even more vegetable goodness.
- Serve meatloaf with additional salsa.
