How to Make Southwest-Style Turkey Meatloaf

A nice way to add whole grains into protein dishes—such as meatloaf, hamburgers, and meatballs—is to use quick-cooking oats instead of regular bread crumbs. The fiber in the oats has been shown to help lower cholesterol.

Complete your Plate: For a classic "meat-and-potatoes" meal, pair with Mashed Red Potatoes. Add a Green Salad with Orange and Avocado for a balanced meal.

Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 9 × 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Add all of the remaining ingredients to a large bowl. Gently mix the ingredients until well combined.
  3. Spoon the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, using the back of the spoon or a spatula to even out the top. Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake until a thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf reads 165°F, 1 hour.

I was hesitant about this recipe, but oh my gosh!!! It was so delicious. I don't know how to tell my mom that i will not be using her recipe anymore. The only change I made was switching orange and yellow bell peppers for green.LOVE IT

This is a very good and tasty meatloaf. I was concerned that it would be dry but it was so moist. My husband loved it too, and this is definitely a keeper and is going into our meal rotation. My husband just suggested having it again tomorrow night. I highly recommend this recipe. So good.

I can't believe how delish this meatloaf is. This has become my husband and sister's favorite ..thought I'd have leftovers for lunch the next day....fat chance!
