Italian Turkey Meatloaf
Ingredients
  • cooking spray
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup Italian-style seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a moderate heat of 375 degrees Fahrenheit (or 190 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric).
2
Next, take a moment to spray a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray to prevent the meatloaf from sticking.
3
Meanwhile, combine ground turkey, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic, pepper, and salt in a medium-sized bowl.
4
To ensure everything is well incorporated, mix the ingredients together until they form a cohesive whole.
5
Form the mixture into a single, cohesive loaf shape and place it in the prepared baking dish.
6
Now, put your meatloaf in the oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until it's cooked to perfection.
7
After 45 minutes of baking, pour a rich tomato sauce over the top of your meatloaf.
8
Bake for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
9
Finally, sprinkle a layer of melted mozzarella cheese over your meatloaf and continue baking until the cheese is fully melted.

When you're confident that your meatloaf is cooked to a safe internal temperature of at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit (or 71 degrees Celsius, if you're using a thermometer), remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
