I took my grandma's recipe that I can remember eating as a child, and made it a tiny bit healthier so there's no guilt. Make new family memories with this recipe!
1.50lbsextra lean ground turkeyor ground meat of your choice
2egg whites
2/3cupsquick cooking oats
1/3cupketchup
1/2tspsalt
1tspItalian seasoning
1/2tspbasil

2tablespoonparmesan cheese
1 8ozcan tomato saucedivided
1/2cupmozzarella cheesereserved
2/3cupsshredded/grated zucchiniabout 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.
