ingredients
- 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
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Pour the remaining tomato sauce on top of the loaf spooning some onto the sides of the loaf.
- Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 55 minutes.

I scaled this back for 4 serves and baked in a meatloaf tin (lined with foil for easy removal) but otherwise made to recipe baking at 175C fan forced for 45 minutes and was thoroughly enjoyed with some left overs for sandwiches. Thank you BabyEsq, made for Help A Naked Recipe, Photo Forum Special Event.

Quite good indeed. I used beef, 3 tsp minced garlic, 1 2/3 cup tomato sauce, replaced the Italian seasoning with liquid smoke, and left out the onion and pepper. Even with less sauce it was too moist, so I had to keep it in the oven longer. Next time I'll just reduce the liquid a bit. Overall, this was a healthy and delicious recipe that is definitely a keeper. Thanks a lot.

I LOVE this one and make it often. I did modify it a little to my tastes. The way I made it is more southern. I omitted the fennel seeds because there was none at the store. I eyeball all the ingredients and put in a little extra italian seasoning, I added about 1 tablespoon of spenda brown sugar and a little extra oats, and I also used ketchup instead of the canned tomato sauce in the mix and a good amount on top of the meat to cook. I used a red onion instead because I was out of white onions...and it actually is SO much better than white onions that I always use red now!! It turns out good all the time now...thanks!!!!:D
