By aiati

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium red pepper, diced
• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat leaf parsley or 2 tablespoons dry
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons rice milk (alternatively use almond or soy milk)
• 1/2 pound of 99% fat free turkey
• 1/2 pound of 93% - 97% fat free turkey
• 8 slices of turkey bacon

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees (350 degrees if using a convection oven). In a medium frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the red peppr and onion and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Place the vegetables in a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Form the meat mixture into a loaf on the parchment paper. Place the strips of bacon over the loaf in a criss-cross pattern.

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Remove from oven and allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
