Turkey Meatloaf Dinner

A lean turkey meatloaf bound with oats and vegetables, glazed with a tangy tomato topping and served over creamy mashed potatoes. 540 calories with 36g of protein per serving.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup ground turkey (93% lean)
  • 1 cup russet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup carrot, grated
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp dried Italian herbs
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp low-fat milk
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F and line a small loaf pan with parchment.
  2. Mix the ground turkey, oats, egg, onion, carrot, Italian herbs, 1 tbsp tomato paste, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper until just combined.
  3. Press the mixture into the loaf pan and spread the ketchup mixed with the remaining tomato paste over the top.
  4. Bake for 35-40 minutes until a thermometer in the center reads 165F, then let it rest.
  5. Cover the cubed potatoes with salted water in a pot and bring to a boil.
  6. Simmer the potatoes for 15 minutes until fork-tender, then drain.
  7. Mash the potatoes with butter, milk, and salt until smooth and creamy.
  8. Slice the rested meatloaf and plate it over a scoop of mashed potatoes.

Tips

  • Oats lighten the loaf and add fiber, but breadcrumbs work if that’s what you have.
  • Let the meatloaf rest 5 minutes before slicing so the juices redistribute and it cuts cleanly.
