Turkey Meatloaf

This has become a new favorite in our house - even M goes back for 2nd and 3rds!  I think it's better than the traditional meatloaf and has really good flavors!  This goes well with some mashed cauliflower (or potatoes) and broccoli!


Ingredients:
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 onion, chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
1-1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp ketchup
1/2 tsp table salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1-1/4 lb lean ground turkey
1/4 c low fat shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 c seasoned whole wheat bread crumbs (I eye ball these so, you may need a little more depending on the texture)

Topping:
1/2 c ketchup
1 tbsp light brown sugar
1 tsp mustard


Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Heat oil in pan and add onions.  Saute onions for about 3-5 minutes.  Add garlic and stir - making sure to not burn the garlic.  Set aside and cool a bit
In a large bowl, combine turkey, onion mix, Italian seasoning, 1 tsp ketchup, salt, pepper, egg, cheese & bread crumbs.  Mix well.
Lightly spray loaf pan with cooking spray and pack turkey mixture in pan
Bake for 25 minutes
Meanwhile, combine topping mix.  After 25 minutes of baking, spread topping on meatloaf and bake for another 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool about 5 minutes before cutting.
