Ingredients

• 1 lb lean ground turkey (93% lean or higher)
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cup oatmeal
• 1 cup low-fat pizza sauce
• 1.5 cups reduced-fat shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 0.5 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
• 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, egg, oatmeal, 1/2 cup of the pizza sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, red bell pepper, and fresh basil. Mix well until ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan, pressing gently to shape it evenly into a loaf.

Step 5

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the remaining 1/2 cup of pizza sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top, followed by the parmesan cheese.

Step 7

Return the loaf pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8

Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

Slice and serve warm with a side of salad or steamed vegetables.
