Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey and lean ground beef. Mix gently but thoroughly to distribute evenly.
Add the eggs, rolled oats, chopped onion, minced garlic, low-sugar tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, dried oregano, ground black pepper, and salt to the bowl. Mix everything together until fully combined, but do not overwork the mixture.
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Press it gently into an even layer without compacting it too much. This will help keep the meatloaf tender as it cooks.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). For even cooking, check halfway through and rotate the pan if needed.
Once done, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes. This resting time helps the juices redistribute, ensuring a moist meatloaf.
Carefully transfer the meatloaf to a cutting board and slice into 6 equal portions.
Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad to complete the meal.
