Ingredients

For the Meatloaf:
  • 1 pound Lean Ground Turkey
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 Zucchini Squash, finely shredded and extra moisture squeezed
  • 1 Red Onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 stalk Celery, finely chopped
  • 1 Green Onion, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Dried Oregano
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped Parsley
  • 4 tablespoons Quick Oats, soaked in 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • Black Pepper, to taste
  • 2 ounces Feta Cheese
For the Sauce:
  • 2 tablespoons Tomato Paste
  • 1 tablespoon Hot Water
  • 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Apricot Preserves
  • 1/2 tablespoon Honey
  • Salt, to taste

Directions

  1. Make the meatloaf mixture: Place all ingredients for the meatloaf EXCEPT for the feta cheese in a large bowl. Mix until very well combined.
  2. Prep: At this point, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment.
  3. Shape the meatloaf: Place 2/3 of the meat mix on the prepared baking sheet and shape into a loaf. Make an indent in the middle and crumble in the feta cheese. Cover with the remaining meat mix. Make sure you push it together into a firm loaf, otherwise it will fall apart.
  4. Brush with sauce: Stir together all ingredients for the sauce. Brush 1/3 of it all over the meatloaf.
  5. Bake the meatloaf: Bake the loaf for 30 minutes. Brush with another 1/3 of the sauce and finish baking for another 20-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature has reached 165°F. Immediately brush with the remaining sauce. Rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
