Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Lean ground turkey
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 medium Onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste (no added sugar)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground mustard powder
- 0 Olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly spray with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the rolled oats and the almond milk. Allow them to soak while you prepare the other ingredients, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, soaked oats, egg whites, diced onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, salt, and mustard powder. Mix everything together thoroughly using your hands or a wooden spoon.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and press it down evenly to remove any air pockets.
Step 5
Bake the meat loaf in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), ensuring it is fully cooked.
Step 6
Once done, remove the meat loaf from the oven and allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain moisture and makes slicing easier.
Step 7
Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your healthy turkey meat loaf with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal!
