Delicious Turkey Meatloaf (to print)

Ingredients

1 teaspoon Olive Oil

1/2 Cup chopped onion

1/3 Cup chopped celery

4 or 5 slices whole wheat bread

1/2 cup milk (I use skim)

1 to 1.5 lbs ground turkey (I use 1.25 lb Jenny-O Lean Ground Turkey)

2 eggs, beaten (you can substitute egg whites)

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons fresh basil (the secret ingredient!) (I use Gourmet Garden but you can chop up fresh)

1/2 cup ketchup

2 tablespoons worcester sauce

2 tablespoons brown sugar

Directions

Sauté the chopped onions and celery in the olive oil until they're soft. About five minutes.
While the onions and celery are getting soft make your own bread crumbs. Put the bread in the toaster until it's lightly toasted. Rip up the toast and throw it in the blender. (Or use purchased - about 1 cup)
Soak the bread crumbs in the milk. Set aside.

Put the ground turkey in a big bowl. Add the parmesan cheese, salt, basil, onions and celery.

Using a fork, mix it all together.
Throw in the bread crumbs and pour in the beaten eggs.
Mix everything together. Shape it into a meatloaf shape (you'll have to use your hands for this). Place it on a lightly oiled pan. I like to use a broiler pan.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45-50 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees.

Enjoy!
