A row of baked meatloaves topped with tomato sauce. This is a healthy version of a classic comfort food. Made with ground turkey, this is full of mushrooms, onions and garlic. Pair it with some brown rice and you've got a tasty meal that will leave you feeling full and refreshed. Enjoy!

Total Time: About 30 minutes prep

Yield: 7 servings

Source: Modified from a recipe in the book "Clean Eating".

Ingredients:

1 package 8 oz crimini or regular white mushrooms
1 yellow onion
4 cloves garlic
1 cup oats
1 lb ground turkey
2 cups pasta sauce
3 Tbsp apple cider or red wine vinegar
1 Tbsp dried Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Steps:

Rough chop your mushrooms, onion and garlic. Place them in a food processor and run until you have a sort of sauce.
Add your oats to your processor until they are powdered.
Add your ingredients to a large bowl with your ground turkey, along with 3/4 cup of the pasta sauce, vinegar, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.

Mix well. A potato masher helps, but your hands are the best tool for the job.:)

Mixing the meatloaf ingredients together.

Form your mixture into 7 little loaves on your ungreased cookie sheet. Pour your remaining 1 1/4 cup sauce over the top. More are pictured here, that's because I doubled the recipe.
