Ingredients

Hidden Veggie Meatloaf
1 pound lean ground beef
⅔ pound ground turkey
1 egg
¾ cup finely chopped celery
¾ cup regular rolled oats

½ cup ketchup
½ cup finely chopped onion
½ cup finely chopped green bell pepper
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
⅔ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon minced garlic
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Step 2

Combine ground beef, ground turkey, egg, celery, rolled oats, skim milk, ketchup, onion, green pepper, parsley, dry mustard, salt, minced garlic, and black pepper in a bowl until thoroughly combined; mixture will be moist. Transfer mixture into a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
