This is the easiest recipe you will make ALL week!! The hands on time is literally around 15 minutes then you simply throw it into the oven to cook. How simple is that? REAL SIMPLE… which makes sense since that is where I found this recipe. I served the meat loaf along side fresh green beans and a garden salad. It was a nutritious and filling meal that didn’t take a lot of effort which I know you will appreciate this busy holiday season!
Ingredients
1 ½ pounds ground turkey
1 small yellow onion, chopped
½ cup bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
1 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1 7-ounce jar roasted red peppers, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Kosher salt and pepper
Directions
1. Heat oven to 400° F.
2. Combine the turkey, onion, bread crumbs, egg, Parmesan, Dijon mustard, the parsley, red peppers, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Shape the meat into an 8-inch loaf and place in a baking dish. <<Quick Tip: A loaf pan isn’t the best choice for meat loaf. Use a large pan with 1 1/2- to 2-inch sides, or a 7-by-11-inch baking dish instead.>>
3. Bake until no trace of pink remains (internal temperature should be 165° F), about 45 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 15 minutes before slicing.
