Not Your Typical Meatloaf

This recipe is too good not to share. I make this about once a week, and it's even better the next day. Takes about 10 minutes to mix together and while it's baking, I prepare some veggies to roast at the end of the meatloaf's cooking time. Pair with some whole wheat bread and a small glass of skim milk for a complete meal!

Turkey Meatloaf with Feta and Sun-Dried Tomatoes
(tweaked recipe from Giada at Home)

1/2 C plain dried bread crumbs
1/3 C chopped fresh parsley (or 2 T dried parsley)
1/4 C sun-dried tomatoes (can be oil-packed, marinated ones, but try the ones without the oil to save fat)
2 garlic cloves, minced (or 2 t bottled garlic)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 C olive oil (garlic or other flavor infused if you want)
1/3 C crumbled feta cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
1 lb. ground turkey breast

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9x5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, stir together everything but ground turkey. Once combined, add turkey and gently stir to combine with rest of ingredients; do not overwork. Spread into loaf pan (will fill pan about halfway). Bake until internal temperature is 165 degrees with a meat thermometer, 40-50 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice and serve.
