Roasted marinara makes this meat loaf burst with flavor.
This is truly a winner of a dinner.
Roasted marinara bursts with flavor and brings Italian-seasoned ground turkey to life. You will not even think to ask “where’s the beef?”
Pair the meat loaf with some simple garlic mashed potatoes to keep the “mmm, mmm, yu-ums” coming.
Note: the marinara may brown or blacken in spots during cooking. Have no worry, it will taste amazing. Scraping those little bits off the broiler pan afterwards is the highlight of the meal. So good.
Ingredients List
- Olive oil spray
- 1 1/2 lbs ground turkey breast (7% fat)
