I had about 1 1/2 lbs of ground turkey in the fridge so I decided to use it on this recipe. I was going to make it as described with the combo of ground beef and chicken, but then decided it wasn't worth an extra trip to the grocery store. This was definitely an easy recipe to make. I made it the night before and then just stuck it in the fridge until we were ready to make it.
This is quite a delicious meatloaf. I don't think I would call it my favorite one, but we definitely all really enjoyed it. I would definitely make this again.
1 lb ground turkey (I used 1 1/2 lbs)
1 lb ground beef (I omitted)
2 eggs
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1-2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 small onion, grated
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup marinara pasta sauce
1/2 cup shredded Italian cheese blend
minced parsley for garnish
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a loaf pan with cooking spray, set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey and beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, thyme, oregano, basil, garlic, onion, salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese. Try not over handle the mixture otherwise it will get tough. Place the mixture in the greased loaf pan and form into a loaf. Top the meatloaf with pasta sauce.
Place filled loaf pan on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes - 1 hour. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and sprinkle the top with the remaining shredded cheese. Place the meatloaf back in the oven and bake until the cheese is melted.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving/slicing. Garnish with parsley if desired.
