Maria’s Stuffed Turkey Meatloaf

This recipe is more than enough for one meal. 1 serving is a 4 oz. slice; I weigh my portion and then freeze the rest, so I can pull one out and defrost for a quick dinner later in the week. Mangia!

Meatloaf Ingredients:

3 lbs. ground turkey 

1/2 cup whole wheat bread crumbs

1/2 cup liquid egg substitute or two beaten egg whites

1 tbsp. chopped basil

1 tbsp. oregano

1 tbsp. chopped parsley

Directions: Mix all the above ingredients together, divide in half and spread each half out to form a rectangle.

Filling Ingredients:

2 tbsp. olive oil

5 cloves garlic, chopped finely

2 red peppers, chopped finely

1 red onion, chopped finely

1 cup broccoli and cauliflower

Directions:

In a pan, sauté the garlic and onion with 2 tbsp. of olive oil until browned. Add the remaining veggies and sauté until wilted. Spread this veggie mixture evenly over the two turkey rectangles and roll like a jelly roll, closing both ends. Place in a shallow baking pan and Bake in a 350 degree oven until browned. Serve with a side salad.
