Parmesan-Turkey Meatloaf

Weight Watchers recipe.

This is one of my all-time favorite recipes, nevermind Weight Watchers recipe. I am making it right now! My husband loves it and requests it. AND it takes about 15 minutes to make, the rest is cooking time. Gotta love that!

1 Tbs olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 1/4 lbs ground skinless turkey
4 slices whole-wheat bread, made into fine crumbs (i chop or use food processor)
1/2 cup fat-free milk
1 egg white, lightly beaten
3 Tbs ketchup
2 Tbs grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried thyme leaves, crumbled
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 350F.
Spray and 8x5" loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a small, non-stick skillet, heat the oil. Saute the onion until tender, 4-5 minutes.

In a medium bowl, combine the onion, turkey, bread crumbs, milk, egg white, ketchup, cheese, garlic powder, basil, thyme and pepper; blend well. Shape into a loaf and transfer to the pan. Bake until browned and cooked through, 50-60 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
