Italian Turkey Meatloaf
 |
| This meatloaf isn't a typical meatloaf but it has become my favorite. Made with turkey meat, stuffed with cheese, basil and marinara sauce. It's loaded with flavor. |
 |
| I like to serve with roasted vegetables (zucchini, red pepper, onion and mushrooms). |

Ingredients:
2 lbs. ground turkey (I use Jennie-O Lean Ground Turkey)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup chopped onion, finely chopped
2 eggs
1/2 cup panko crumbs
1/2 cup marinara sauce
4 oz. Asiago cheese, diced
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup basil, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
After cooked 1 hour add:
3/4 cup marinara sauce
4 oz. fresh mozzarella, sliced (I like Bel Gioioso Brand)
Mix everything together and form into a loaf on a baking sheet. Bake at 375 for around 1 hour. Remove from oven and spoon marinara over top and place fresh mozzarella slices over it bake an additional 15 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil.
