I made this yummy turkey meatloaf with an Italian twist last week. Tomato sauce and parmesan cheese cover this meatloaf and bring meatloaf to a new level. I made mine completely with ground turkey but it was still moist. It was even tasty as leftovers straight from the fridge.

Modified from Mommy? I'm Hungry!
Ingredients
2 pounds ground turkey
2 eggs
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 small onion, grated
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup marinara pasta sauce
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside. In a large bowl combine the ground turkey, eggs, breadcrumbs, spices, and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.
Place the mixture in the greased loaf pan and form into a loaf. Top the meatloaf with pasta sauce. Bake for 45 minutes and remove the meatloaf from the oven. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese on the top and bake another ten minutes.
Remove the meatloaf fro the oven and allow to rest for ten minutes before serving.
