I am finally following a recipe again.  Ellie Krieger is on Food TV.  I don’t record her but, I can’t resist a new meatloaf recipe.  I have to say this one was hard to handle but delicious.  

Ingredients:

3/4 C quick-cooking oats

1/2 C skim milk

1 medium onion, peeled

2# ground turkey breast

1/2 C chopped red bell pepper (really?!, just chop 1/2 and use)

2 eggs, beaten

2 t Worcestershire sauce

1/4 C ketchup

1/2 t salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a small bowl, stir together the oats and milk.  
3. Thinly slice 1/4 of the onion and set aside.  Finally chop the remaining onion. 
4. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients above the tomato sauce including the oats and milk.  (I made this in the big bowl and just waited til the oats soaked up the milk..  Mix until well combined.
5. Transfer the mixture to a 9 X 13” baking dish and shape into a loaf about 5” wide and 2 1/2’ high. (It helps if you have exactly the oval dish to do this in.)
6. Poor the tomato sauce over the meatloaf and sprinkle with the sliced onions.  
7. Bake for about 1 hour or until an instant-reat thermometer registers 160 degrees F.  
8. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Again tasted great and served with mashed potatoes and green beans.  Meat
