Ingredients
-
1 cup milk
-
1 cup panko breadcrumbs (use panko, regular breadcrumbs will make the loaf mushier)
-
1 lb ground chicken or 1 lb turkey
-
1/2 zucchini, grated (approx. 1/4 cup)
-
1/2 medium onion, diced
-
1 cup mozzarella cheese
-
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese (or other cheese with a stronger flavor)
-
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
-
1/4 teaspoon pepper
-
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
-
ketchup, to drizzle on top
-
2 tablespoons salt-free Italian herb seasoning (I used Paul Prudhomme's Pasta Magic, but it has heat, so avoid if making for kids)
-
1 egg
-
1 carrot, grated (approx 1/4 cup)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Place milk and breadcrumbs in a bowl and let soak while mixing the rest of the ingredients.
- Pat and squeeze the shredded zucchini and carrots between paper towels to soak up extra moisture.
- Place ground turkey, carrot, zucchini, onion, eggs and cheese in a large bowl and mix by hand.
- Once the breadcrumbs have soaked up all of the milk, mix in the 2 Tbs of Italian seasoning and add to the turkey mixture.
- Stir in the seasoned salt, pepper, and worcestershire.
- Place mix in a greased loaf baking pan and drizzle the ketchup on top.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 55minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 180 degrees. Remove from the oven, cover tightly with tin foil and let sit for 10 minutes.
