What’s for dinner tonight? We love meatloaf but sometimes, we like to add ground turkey instead. Today, I am sharing an easy turkey meatloaf recipe topped with tomatoes. Sounds good right? My dad, husband and grandfather are all diabetic and ground turkey is a better option for them so a couple nights ago, I made this and it turned out great.

Supply List

Loaf:
2 lbs ground turkey I used 96% lean
2 eggs
1/3 cup quick cooking oats
2 tbsp snipped chives
4-6 cloves minced garlic
1/2 cup chopped celery
12/ cup shredded carrot
1 cup chopped mushrooms
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Topping:
2 cups chopped roma tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 tbsp canola oil
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp chili powder

Instructions : Step by Step

Combine eggs, chives, oats and garlic in a bowl. Add seasonings. Mix in vegetables and then add ground turkey. Once mixed well , make mini loaves and place on a cookie sheet lined with tin foil. I sprayed my foil lightly with a coat of Pam Spray olive oil to prevent sticking.
In a separate bowl, mix tomatoes, onion, mustard, oil and chili pepper.
Pour tomato mixture over loaves.
Bake 375 for 35-40 minutes or until loaves are cooked

You can substitute the turkey with ground beef too. I served on a cute white platter with roasted potatoes that I also baked on the cookie sheet. Why not right? You can also used canned crushed tomatoes too instead of cutting up fresh ones. I would probably drain the canned tomatoes though.

Looking for a cute white platter to share your dinner on? Here are a couple that we have and a few on my wish list:

Even my son liked this turkey meatloaf recipe and he didn’t even realize that he was eating mushrooms and carrots.-ha. Sometimes meatloaf and/or turkeyloaf can get a little boring but the addition of a tomato mixture on top added a little extra pizzaz and delicious flavor.
