Ingredients

For the meatloaf:

1 pound extra lean ground turkey I use ground turkey breast
1 large egg
1 zucchini finely shredded and excess moisture squeezed
1 medium onion finely chopped
1 green pepper finely diced
5 tablespoons quick cooking oats
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon dried garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

For the sauce:

2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon honey optional; you can also use 1 extra tablespoon tomato sauce plus a pinch of your favorite sweetener
salt to taste

Instructions

Make the meat mix: Place all ingredients for the meatloaf EXCEPT for the feta cheese to a large bowl. Mix well (I likening a handheld mixer with the dough hooks attached).
Shape the meatloaf: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet. Place the meat mix on the baking sheet and shape into a loaf. Make a long well along the middle and add the cheese. Close the meatloaf over the cheese, making sure you're shaping it firmly.
Bake: Stir all ingredients for the sauce together in a small bowl. Brush 1/3 all over the meatloaf. Bake the meatloaf for 30 minutes. Brush with another 1/3 of the sauce. Finish baking for around 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining sauce.
Serve: Let the loaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
