Turkey Meatloaf - Ellie Krieger

I just bought her new cookbook and so far it's really great, I've posted a couple of recipes so far (chicken w/ balsamic and chicken tenders). Everything is really healthy and delicious. The ingredients may seem a little strange but it was very good, I think I'll use this recipe from now on because it's much healthier. Enjoy!

3/4 cup(s) oats, rolled, quick cooking
1/2 cup(s) milk, fat-free
2 pounds turkey, ground
1 medium onion(s), peeled
1/2 cup(s) pepper(s), red, bell, seeded and chopped
2 large egg(s), beaten
2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup(s) ketchup
1/2 teaspoon salt
pepper, black, freshly ground
8 ounce(s) tomato sauce, low sodium

Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl, stir together the oats and milk and allow to soak while you get the rest of the ingredients together, at least 3 minutes.
Thinly slice one-quarter of the onion into rings and set aside. Finely chop the rest of the onion. In a large bowl, combine the turkey, oatmeal mixture, chopped onion, bell pepper, eggs, Worcestershire, ketchup, salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Mix just until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and shape into a loaf about 5 inches wide and 2 inches high. Pour the tomato sauce over the meatloaf and sprinkle with the sliced onions. Bake until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160 degrees, about 1 hour.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

Mrs. Kostyra's Meatloaf (Martha Stewart's Mom)

Let me preface this by saying that I always hated meatloaf (sorry Mom) until I tried this recipe. It's really easy and is even better left over. It says 8-10 servings but I would say 6-8.

• 4 Slices of white bread torn into pieces
• 2-1/2 lbs. ground beef (you can use 3 mix too - pork, beef, veal)
• 1 medium yellow onion, cut into quarters
• 2 cloves of garlic (*I omit the garlic because it was very overpowering to me)
• 2 stalks celery, cut into pieces
• 2 carrots, peeled and cut into 2" pieces
• 1/2 C flat leaf parsley
• 1 Lrg. Egg
• 1 C Ketchup
• 3 tsp. dry mustard (I omitted since I didn't have on hand)
• 1 Tbsp. Coarse salt
• 2 tsp. black pepper
• 2 Tbsp. brown sugar

1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Place the bread in the bowl of a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs. Transfer to a medium bowl and add ground beef.
2. Place onion, garlic, celery, carrots and parsley in food processor and pulse until fine. Add to meat mixture, using hands to mix well. Add egg, 1/2 C ketchup, 2 tsp. dry mustard, salt and pepper, use hands to combine thoroughly. Place in an 8-1/2 x 4-1/2 x 2-1/2 loaf pan. (if you don't have a loaf pan, you can put it in a corningwear or glass dish and mold into a loaf.
3. Combine remaining 1/2 C ketchup, remaining tsp. dry mustard, and brown sugar in a bowl, stir until smooth.
4. Brush mixture over meatloaf; place in oven with a baking dish below to catch any drippings (if using a loaf pan). Cook approx. 90 minutes or until meat reaches 160 degrees. If the top gets too dark, cover with foil and continue baking.
