Thanksgiving Lentil Loaf

• 2 cups water, or as needed
• 1 cup lentils
• cooking spray
• 1 cup quick-cooking oats
• 1 small onion, grated
• 3/4 cup shredded Colby-Jack cheese
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries
• 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
• 1/8 teaspoon seasoned salt
• 1 1/2 cups fresh cranberry sauce
• 1/2 cup egg substitute
• 3/4 cup fresh cranberry sauce

1. Bring water and lentils to a boil on a saucepan; reduce heat and simmer until lentils are tender, adding more water if needed, 35 to 40 minutes.
2. Spray an 8-inch square glass baking dish with cooking spray.
3. Drain lentils and beat with an electric mixer until mostly smooth; cool slightly.
4. Mix oats, onion, Colby-Jack cheese, dried cranberries, poultry seasoning, and seasoned salt together in a large bowl. Mix 1 1/2 cups cranberry sauce and egg substitute together in a separate bowl; stir into oats mixture. Slowly stir cooled lentil puree into oats mixture until evenly combined. Spread mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon.
5. Cover dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours.
6. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove plastic wrap from baking dish.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Spoon 3/4 cup cranberry sauce over loaf and continue baking until loaf is cooked through, about 15 minutes more.
