Total Time: 1 hr 15 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 55 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 2 lbs lean ground turkey
• 2/3 cup rolled oats
• 2 eggs, whisked
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fennel seeds, toasted
• 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon italian seasoning
• 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 15 ounces canned tomato sauce, divided

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• 2 place fennel seeds in a small, non stick pan over medium high heat on your stove top to roast. occasionally stir or shake seeds as they roast. roast until seeds start to appear a bit golden in color instead of greenish, about 2 minutes. be careful, they will go from toasted to burnt very quickly.
• 3 place the diced onion and olive oil in a non stick pan, sprinkle with salt and saute. to avoid burning, add the minced garlic to the onions after a few minutes. saute onions and garlic until tender.
• 4 in a large bowl, combine turkey, oats, whisked eggs, sauteed onion and garlic, fennel seed, worcestershire sauce, italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and about 3 tablespoons of the canned tomato sauce, reserving the remaining sauce. combine well using your hands or a large spoon.
• 5 spray the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. turn meat mixture out into the baking dish and form into a rectangular loaf that ends about an inch and a half from the sides of the pan. i like to flatten the top of the loaf and then form an indentation around the top to make a lip. this helps to keep the tomato sauce on top of the loaf.
• 6 pour the remaining tomato sauce on top of the loaf spooning some onto the sides of the loaf.
• 7 bake at 350 degrees for approximately 55 minutes.
