Cut down on the fat in normal meatloaf by substituting turkey. Marinara sauce keeps the leaner dish from drying out.
Ingredients
10 lbs. ground turkey
14 whole eggs
3 cups diced red onion
3 cups diced green bell pepper
1/2 cup minced fresh garlic
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
12 cups panko breadcrumbs
8 cups divided marinara sauce
Steps
- Preheat oven to 325° F
- Place all ingredients except 4 cups of marinara into large mixing bowl; mix until well combined.
- Place mixture into baking pan. Form into two equal loaves that run the length of the pan.
- Cover with plastic wrap, then with aluminum foil.
- Place into preheated 325° F oven and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or to an internal temperature of 165° F.
- Remove meatloaf from the oven; uncover and top with remaining marinara sauce.
- Increase oven temperature to 400° F, return meatloaf to oven and bake uncovered for additional 10 minutes.
- Remove meatloaf from oven; cut crosswise into half inch slices; serve hot.
