Ingredients

1.50 lbs extra lean ground turkey or ground meat of your choice
2 egg whites
2/3 cups quick cooking oats
1/3 cup ketchup
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp basil
1/8 tsp pepper
2 tablespoon parmesan cheese
1 8 oz can tomato sauce divided
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese reserved
2/3 cups shredded/grated zucchini about 1/2 a medium zucchini or carrots

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients, except 1/2 of the tomato sauce and the mozzarella.
After ingredients are combined, move the meatloaf to a counter covered with parchment or wax paper. Shape the meatloaf into an oval or square and sprinkle the mozzarella over the middle of the meatloaf. Next, roll the meatloaf up and transfer it to a 9x5 loaf pan lined in foil and sprayed with cooking spray. Use your fingers to press the meatloaf down so that it is all even at the top.
Bake for 1 hour. Take meatloaf out of the oven and pour the reserved 1/2 of tomato sauce over the top and bake another 15 mins.

Notes

Look for ketchup that does not contain high fructose corn syrup. I use Hunt's, Trader Joe's or Annie's.
