Description

Bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and seasoning add Italian flavor to this turkey meatloaf that's topped with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese.

Ingredients

cooking spray
1 pound lean ground turkey
1/2 cup Italian-style seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
2 Mix together turkey, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic, pepper, and salt in a medium bowl until well combined. Form mixture into a loaf and place in the prepared baking dish.
3 Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Pour tomato sauce over the meatloaf and bake for 5 more minutes.
4 Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over top and bake until cheese is melted and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf reads at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), about 5 more minutes.
