Ingredients

3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup skim milk
1 medium onion, peeled
2 pounds ground turkey breast
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
2 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a small bowl, stir together the oats and milk. Thinly slice 1/4 of the onion and set aside. Finely chop the remaining onion. In a large bowl combine the turkey, oat mixture, chopped onion, bell pepper, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix just until well combined.

Transfer the mixture to a 9 by 13-inch baking dish and shape into a loaf about 5 inches wide and 2 1/2 inches high. Pour the tomato sauce over the meatloaf and sprinkle with the sliced onions. Bake for about 1 hour or until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees.F.

Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 to15 minutes before slicing.

This is one of my favorite recipes
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this several times. My husband refused to eat every time. The last time I made it, he tried it, he went back for... seconds. He never does that. This meal is not bland, however, for those who find it bland, it may be that you may be used to a lot of processed foods (high in sodium, or foods high in fat (both belong to my former life). Ellie's recipes really try to make simple taste great and alive. Today, I am going to stuff peppers with this recipes, and make individual servings using muffin tins, trying to do the portion control thing. My other favorite recipe of Ellie's is the Greek Stuffed Peppers.Read more

Really enjoyed this
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Not sure why so many people say this is bland. I thought the opposite. Maybe they are used to ground beef, which does impart... a different flavor. I have not eaten red meat in more than 20 years and I love to cook with ground turkey and I thought this meatloaf was fantastic. Moist, flavorful and very satisfying. I would definitely make it again. Read more

Moist But Lacking Flavor
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I made this meatloaf last night for dinner - exactly as the recipe called for. It was too bland. My husband and I were... disapointed. We still have leftovers and I may put some BBQ sauce on-top to add to the flavor. If I try it again I might add garlic or something else to give it some more pizaazz! It was moist though, so I would give it an average rating. Read more

Make one substitution and it is FANTASTIC!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I tried this recipe once and found it to be very bland and very disappointing. I love meatloaf but I hate how unhealthy it... is so I wanted to make this recipe work. I made this meatloaf without the tomato sauce on top and heated up some barbecue sauce and spread it on top of the meatloaf after the meatloaf was fully cooked; it was the perfect substitution! I know it makes the recipe a little less healthy, but it is well worth it for all of the flavor that it adds to the meatloaf! Read more

Waste of Money
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I must say that this is the first recipe that I have made from Food Network that I was very dissatisfied with. I will not be... making this dish again and will be deleting this from my recipe box. Read more
