Turkey Meatloaf with Cheese and Bacon

Ingredients:

• 450 g lean ground turkey
• Olive oil for greasing the baking sheet
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1 tbsp hot mustard
• 1/4 cup whole grain breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup skim milk
• 60 g Swiss cheese
• 3 strips turkey bacon, coarsely chopped
• 3 slices whole grain bread, torn into pieces
• 1 large egg white
• 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 250 g mushrooms, coarsely chopped
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 small zucchini, coarsely grated

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 190°C. Lightly grease a 23cm x 13cm baking dish with olive oil.
2. In a small bowl, mix together ketchup with mustard. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, milk, cheese, turkey bacon, bread, and egg white.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, onion, garlic, and salt and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are very soft. Add the zucchini and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
4. Gently mix the vegetables and ground meat until smooth, then stir in most of the ketchup and mustard. Form the meatloaf into a loaf shape and spread the remaining ketchup and mustard over it.
5. Bake until a thermometer registers an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C), about 30-40 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes, then cut into 8 slices.
