Ingredients

• 500 grams lean ground turkey
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 medium, grated carrot
• 1 medium, grated zucchini
• 2 large egg whites
• 50 grams whole wheat breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 as needed olive oil spray
• 2 tablespoons, chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and lightly spraying it with olive oil.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, chopped onion, minced garlic, grated carrot, and grated zucchini.

Step 4

Add the egg whites, whole wheat breadcrumbs, low-sodium soy sauce, dried Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Mix well with your hands until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 5

Place a large piece of parchment paper on the counter and transfer the meat mixture onto it. Shape the mixture into a rectangular loaf about 1 inch thick.

Step 6

Carefully roll the meat into a cylinder shape, using the parchment paper to help guide and compress it. Once formed, transfer the meat roll onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Spray the top of the meat roll lightly with olive oil spray to help it brown.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and a meat thermometer registers 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the meat roll rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm with your favorite side salad or vegetables.
