Italian Turkey Meatloaf

This Italian style meatloaf comes out moist and flavorful, and is unbelievably low in fat!

Ingredients:

1 medium onion

1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes in olive oil

3 garlic cloves

1/4 tsp chicken bouillon

4 tbsp hot water

2.5 lbs lean ground turkey

3/4 cup bread crumbs

3/4 cup marinara sauce

1 1/2 tbsp dried basil

1 1/2 tbsp dried parsley

4-6 tbsp marinara sauce 

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 F.  Add chicken bouillon and hot water to a skillet on medium high heat.  Stir to dissolve.  Add garlic, onion and sun dried tomatoes.  Saute until onions become soft and translucent.  Remove pan from heat to cool and set aside.  

2.  In a large bowl combine turkey, bread crumbs, marinara, basil, parsley, and onion mixture.  Mix with your hands! (That's the best way to incorporate the ingredients)

3.  Divide mixture in half and form into ungreased loaf pans.  Spoon remaining marinara sauce on top of loaves.

4.  Bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes until firm to the touch.  Remove loaves with a spatula to drain the fat left in the pan.  I served our meatloaf with roasted cauliflower and an Italian style salad.  Each slice of meatloaf (3oz) counts as 1 serving of protein! Enjoy!

Leftover meatloaf made awesome meatloaf sandwiches the next day for lunch!
