Turkey loaf is a mainstay of our budget meals. I make it once a week, changing the ingredients often to tweak the family's appetites! This is the latest version, well received.

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 pound ground turkey
• ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
• ¼ teaspoon dried marjoram
• 1 cup dry bread crumbs
• ¼ teaspoon seasoned salt
• ⅓ cup minced celery
• ⅓ cup minced red bell pepper
• ⅓ cup minced red onion
• ⅓ cup minced green bell pepper
• ¼ teaspoon crushed dried rosemary
• ¼ cup bottled ketchup-style chili sauce

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 7 1/2 by 3 3/4-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

Step 2

With a fork, break the turkey meat into chunks in a bowl. Add egg, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, celery, red onion, bread crumbs, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, seasoned salt, and black pepper; mix thoroughly with hands. Gently pat the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, leaving a small space between the meat mixture and the sides of the pan. Spread chili sauce over the meat loaf.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until the juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf reads 160 degrees F/70 degrees C, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
