Turkey Meatloaf

Hubby is always the focus of my cooking. He has some restrictions in his diet so I have to make sure he is eating within his limit.

My turkey meatloaf is the result of my own experiment. I actually gathered at least four versions of meatloaf from the web then picked the ingredients that I like and substituted those that I did not like. My first attempt came out really good, so I decided to keep the recipe.

Here is what you need if you want to try:
* 1.25 lb ground turkey ( we choose the organic one)
* 1/2 cup carrot, cut into 1/8 -inch dice
* 1/2 cup potato, cut into 1/8- inch dice
* 1 cup old fashioned or quick-cooking oats
* 3 green onions, chopped
* 1 cup finely chopped onions (bulb)
* 1 tbsp freshly minced garlic
* 1/4 cup fresh parsley ( chopped)
* 1 whole egg
* 1/4 cup organic soy milk
* 1/4 cup no salt ketchup
* 2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
* 1/2 tsp black pepper
* 1 tbsp olive oil
* 1 tsp salt (optional)

Here is how to do it:
* Preheat oven to 400ºF.
* Cook garlic and onion in a non-stick skillet over moderate heat.
* Stir until onion is softened.
* Add potato, stir and cover for 2 minutes.
* Add carrots and pepper and cover for 2 minutes.
* Stir in Worcestershire sauce, parsley and ketchup.
* Then transfer vegetables to a large bowl and set aside.
*Stir together oats and milk in a small bowl and let stand for 3 minutes.
* Stir in lightly beaten egg then add to vegetables.
* Add turkey meat to vegetable mixture and mix well. (Mixture will be very moist)
* Form into a loaf in a lightly oiled 13 X 9 X 2-inch metal baking pan.
* Brush top evenly with remaining ketchup.
* Bake in the middle of the oven until thermometer inserted registers 170ºF for 50 to 55 minutes.

Note: I broke my camera so I don't have picture to show at this time.
