Prep 15M | Cook 1H | Enjoy in 1H 15M

This is not your mother’s meatloaf. Ground turkey, Italian herbs and fresh summer zucchini blend together for a flavourful and moist loaf—no ketchup needed. Freeze individual portions for an easy lunch or supper!

Ingredients:

1¼ lb. lean ground turkey

1 cup coarsely grated zucchini, squeezed and patted dry to remove excess water

½ cup grated carrot

¾ cup finely chopped onion (1 small yellow onion)

1 large egg, beaten

½ cup dry breadcrumbs

½ tsp dried Italian herbs

½ tsp dried basil, crumbled

1 tsp salt

½ tsp ground black pepper

2 cloves garlic, minced

¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

¼ cup peach preserves

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine turkey, zucchini, carrots, onions, egg, breadcrumbs, Italian herbs, basil, salt, pepper, garlic and parsley in large bowl and mix well.
  2. Transfer mixture to a rimmed aluminum foil-lined baking sheet and shape into an 8×4 inch loaf or press mixture into a greased loaf pan. Bake for 45 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, combine preserves and mustard. Whisk to combine. Spread glaze over top of cooked meatloaf. Return to oven and bake until internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 15-20 minutes longer. Transfer meatloaf to platter.
  4. Cut into slices. Serve and enjoy!
