Zucchini and Turkish meatloaf

Here’s an idea: Instead of trying to get your family to eat a healthier diet than usual, add healthy ingredients to the foods they already love.I had a lot zucchini I had to use it up from the garden, so I mixed the grated zucchini with the turkey meatloaf recipe. The meatloaf came out very moist and flavorful. I’ve been adding zucchini to minced meat for years. For recipes, try Petit BBQ Bacon Turkey Robe and Greek Feta Cheese-Zucchini Turkey Burger.

Turkey meatloaf ingredients

• sauce: Mix 1/4 cup of ketchup with other ingredients, combine 2 tablespoons with Worcestershire to coat the top and bake.
• meat: Choose 93% lean turkey or sub-lean ground beef or chicken.
• onion: In my original turkey meatloaf recipe, I fry fresh onions, but skipped that step and used dried onion flakes instead. No need to pollute another pot!
• zucchini: Zucchini is an important ingredient in juicy meatloaf. Grate well enough to get three-quarters of the cup, wrap it in a towel and squeeze out the liquid.
• binder: Eggs and oats or bread crumbs combine the meat to prevent the turkey meatloaf from falling apart. If you don’t have oats, you can use seasoned or regular bread crumbs or bread crumbs. Also, if you want to make gluten-free meatloaf, use gluten-free oats or bread crumbs.
• spices: Season the meatloaf with marjoram and kosher salt. If you need to substitute marjoram, replace it with dry thyme.

Time to cook Turkish meatloaf in zucchini

How to freeze turkey meatloaf

I always love doubling the meatloaf recipe, so I have one to eat and one to freeze. Turkey meatloaf with zucchini lasts 3-4 days in the refrigerator and can be frozen whole or sliced. Slicing is useful if you only need 1-2 servings at a time. Wrap the slices individually in foil and freeze in a zip-locked bag. To reheat, thaw overnight and reheat in the microwave.
