Ingredients
- 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
- 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
Instructions
- Make the meatloaf mixture: Place all ingredients for the meatloaf EXCEPT for the feta cheese in a large bowl. Mix until very well combined.
- Prep: At this point, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment.
- 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.
- Brush with sauce: Stir together all ingredients for the sauce. Brush 1/3 of it all over the meatloaf.
- 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.
