Good and Better (Turkey) Meatloaf
- 2 lbs ground turkey, I prefer Shadybrook Farms brand (either 93% fat free or ground turkey breast)
- 2 large green bell peppers (or 1 each green and red bell pepper)
- 2 large yellow onions
- 2 slices whole wheat bread
- 2 large eggs (or equivalent of Eggbeaters Egg Substitute)
- 8 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- salt and pepper
- 1 (12 ounce) can tomato paste (I prefer Hunts)
- Get a really big bowl and get ready to get your hands dirty.
- Dice bell peppers and onions and put in big bowl.
- Break up bread slices into VERY small pieces (or use food processor, but don't over do it) and put in bowl.
- Break eggs into bowl.
- Add Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt and pepper, and 1/2 of the can of tomato paste to bowl.
- Add ground turkey to bowl and mix all together VERY well.
- Mash it, pinch it, whatever, just be sure it's all mixed.
- It helps to turn the bowl 1/4 of a turn every few seconds.
- It normally takes me about 5 minutes to get everything well mixed.
- Put mixture into a casserole dish large enough to fit all of the mixture, but leave about 2-3 inches at the top.
- Preferrably a glass dish with a lid.
- I use a round glass casserole dish with a glass lid.
- It works perfectly.
- Place covered dish into an oven preheated to 350.
- Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes, then check for doneness.
- Usually if meatloaf is pulled away from sides of dish and slightly brown on top and edges it's done.
- If it isn't done put it back in the oven at 350 for 15 more minutes and re-evaluate.
- Continue process until meatloaf is done.
- Once meatloaf is done spread remaining tomato paste all over top (like icing the top of a cake) and try to even out the thickness as much as possible.
- Put dish back into the oven under the broiler for 12-15 minutes or until tomato paste is dry on top.
- Enjoy!
