Home-Style Meatloaf

Ingredients:
  • 3/4 cup uncooked instant oatmeal
  • 1/2 cup fat-free milk
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1 large egg, slightly beaten
  • 3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 3/4 # ground skinless superlean turkey breast
  • 3/4 # superlean ground beef (5% fat or less)
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 5x9 inch loaf pan with foil.
  2. Combine the oatmeal, milk, broth, carrots, onion, egg, parsley, garlic, mustard, and pepper in a large bowl. Gently mix the turkey and beef in a medium bowl. Add the turkey mixture to the oatmeal mixture; mix just until blended.
  3. Spoon the mixture into the loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf registers 165 degrees F, about 1 hour.
  4. Let stand a few minutes, and then cut into 8 slices.
