Ingredients

  • 2 lbs ground turkey, I prefer Shadybrook Farms brand (either 93% fat free or ground turkey breast)
  • 2 large green bell peppers (or 1 each green and red bell pepper)
  • 2 large yellow onions
  • 2 slices whole wheat bread
  • 2 large eggs (or equivalent of Eggbeaters Egg Substitute)
  • 8 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 (12 ounce) can tomato paste (I prefer Hunts)

Method

  • Get a really big bowl and get ready to get your hands dirty.
  • Dice bell peppers and onions and put in big bowl.
  • Break up bread slices into VERY small pieces (or use food processor, but don't over do it) and put in bowl.
  • Break eggs into bowl.
  • Add Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt and pepper, and 1/2 of the can of tomato paste to bowl.
  • Add ground turkey to bowl and mix all together VERY well.
  • Mash it, pinch it, whatever, just be sure it's all mixed.
  • It helps to turn the bowl 1/4 of a turn every few seconds.
  • It normally takes me about 5 minutes to get everything well mixed.
  • Put mixture into a casserole dish large enough to fit all of the mixture, but leave about 2-3 inches at the top.
  • Preferrably a glass dish with a lid.
  • I use a round glass casserole dish with a glass lid.
  • It works perfectly.
  • Place covered dish into an oven preheated to 350.
  • Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes, then check for doneness.
  • Usually if meatloaf is pulled away from sides of dish and slightly brown on top and edges it's done.
  • If it isn't done put it back in the oven at 350 for 15 more minutes and re-evaluate.
  • Continue process until meatloaf is done.
  • Once meatloaf is done spread remaining tomato paste all over top (like icing the top of a cake) and try to even out the thickness as much as possible.
  • Put dish back into the oven under the broiler for 12-15 minutes or until tomato paste is dry on top.
  • Enjoy!
