This is a recipe we’ve worked on for a while. Ground turkey is nice to use as it’s lower in fat than ground beef, and tasty when cooked right. The problem is, when cooked wrong, it can be too dry.
Ingredients
2-1/2 lbs ground turkey
4 eggs (I use 1 cup of egg beaters or similar fat free egg product)
1 cup bread crumbs
2 cups peppers and onions
Place in a meatloaf tin, ours is 9″ x 5″ x 2-3/4, and cook at 350F for 1hr 45min.
The ingredients, mixed and in the tin ready to cook.
This is how we cook it, inverted on a pan, so the fat drains off.
And ready to eat. This is another “cook ahead” meal, as it freezes well, or you can eat some for dinner, and serve for lunches during the week. Enjoy.

You can make a much lower fat version by omitting the eggs, adding some ketchup and cooking it in the microwave. My kids call it “Sponge Bob’s Brain” because when made in the round it DOES resemble a spongy brain, but boy does it taste good.
