Turkey meatloaf

Light, flavorful, wonderful as left over too.

Ingredients 

2 cups                                                                 grated carrots 

1 cup                                                                   oatmeal

1/4 cup                                                               fennel (optional) 

1/2 cup (divided)                                           BBQ sauce

1                                                                          egg

4 to 8 cloves                                                      garlic (my husband loves garlic)

3 lbs                                                                    ground turkey

1/2 teaspoon                                                     red pepper flakes

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions 

Preheat the oven to 375°F. (190°C.)

In a big bowl, mix the ingredients except the turkey and 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce with a spatula.  Add the meat and combine.  Transfer on a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper and form in a football kind of shape.  Cover with the remaining 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce and freshly ground black pepper.   Cook in the oven for about 1 1/2 h. or until the internal temperature reach 160°F.

We like the left overs, we eat with various side dishes such as 3 bean salad, sweet potato, pesto veggie pasta ...

Serve it à la you and bon appétit!

Here's how I used the left overs.  I slice and warm it up in a pan with a little butter.

So good!
