Ingredients

  • 3 slices torn whole wheat bread
  • 1/4 cup low fat milk
  • 2 teaspoons canola oil
  • 1 (8 oz) package coarsely chopped mushrooms
  • 1 finely chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 small shredded zucchini
  • 1 (20.8 oz) package or chicken ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup shredded fat-free mozzarella cheese
  • 4 slices reduced-fat center-cut bacon
  • 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
  • 2 tablespoons French fried onions

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 °F. Line a broiler pan with foil and lightly spray the foil with nonstick spray.

Combine the bread and milk in a large bowl; let stand 10 minutes to soften. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, onion, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are very tender, 5-7 minutes. Add the zucchini and cook, stirring until softened, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat; let cool slightly.

Add the mushroom mixture, turkey, cheese, bacon, breadcrumbs, egg and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt to the bread mixture. Toss gently to combine. In a small bowl, combine the ketchup and mustard. Stir 1/4 cup ketchup mixture into meat mixture. Shape into a loaf and place on the pan. Spread the remaining ketchup mixture over the loaf. Bake 40 minutes. Top with French fried onions. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf registers 160º, 10-15 minutes longer. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Cut into 12 slices.

This recipe is definately a keeper!! We saw Bobby make this on his show a few weeks ago and hubby wanted to try it. (You know this means-Hey why don't YOU make it!) Anyway-I was a bit apprehensive because of the veggies and the turkey. But the texture and taste was perfect! Much better than the one I made a few weeks ago using the red-headed pioneer woman! You will not be disappointed!!!

This is a great recipe!!! I have been searching for a great meatloaf recipe and I have found it. We saw Bobby prepare it a few weeks ago on his show-my hubby suggested we try it. I was a bit apprehensive bc of the turkey and veggies, but it comes together perfectly and is DELISH!! I cooked it last night,trying to get a head start on supper tonight. I had to run the hubby out of the kitchen so he would not devour it on the spot!! Much better than the recipe I tried last week from the "red-head on the cattle ranch!" You will not be disappointed!!

Do you cook the bacon before adding it to the mixture or do you add it raw? Do you slice it or add it whole? Thanks :)
