This recipe was modified from one I found in a cookbook published by "The Turkey Store". My family, and everyone I have ever served it too love it and can't believe that it is low fat, low cholesterol. And recently I started substituting oatmeal for bread crumbs since my husband's doctor put him on an even stricter diet than before. It is easy, there is no need to sauté the onions, bell pepper and garlic before mixing with the rest of the ingredients. It is also moist and very tasty. I usually serve with baked sweet potatoes and fresh green beans. It makes GREAT sandwiches the next day.

Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey breast
1/2 cup fat free egg substitute or 2 eggs
1/4 cup bell pepper, finely diced
1/2 cup onion, chopped

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic, minced or 6 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce, divided
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 cup tomato sauce
3/4 cup rolled oat, not instant oatmeal

If using 99% Fat Free ground turkey breast meat, there is no need to drain fat before pouring tomato sauce on and returning to oven.
10
If you use the regular ground turkey, which is about 7% fat you might want to drain the fat off before pouring the tomato sauce on the loaf.

This recipe is so good. I was skeptical about turkey meatloaf, but this is excellent. I like to make it in four mini-loaf pans for easy freezing. It makes rich, delicious sandwiches and is better than real meatloaf. Yum!

I am not a huge meatloaf fan, but this is a nice change to beef. I omitted the bell peppers, because I didn't want to make a trip to the store just for those, but I made the rest of the recipe as directed, using 2 eggs. I found that I basically used heaping 1/4 cup measures (three) of oats, because it was a bit wet with level measures. My husband and I thought the meatloaf was good, but needed a little something (like herbs or something - but we can't put our finger on it). I served this with Microwave Acorn Squash and Cheesy Smashed Potatoes & Cauliflower. It was good, and I would definitely make this again, though. Thanks! UPDATE: This tastes SO good the next day, for lunch, so I upped my rating from 4 stars to 5, and I'm keeping this one.
