Taco Meatloaf

I made this taco meatloaf this week and it was really good! It was quick and easy, which is always handy for a weeknight meal. You can adapt the ingredients to suit your tastes, but we really enjoyed the Mexican twist on a classic recipe.

Taco Meatloaf
adapted from allrecipes.com

1/4 cup egg beaters (or 1 egg lightly beaten)

1/2 cup salsa
1/4 cup diced onions

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1/2 can diced green chilies

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 pound lean ground turkey
2 tablespoons of oat bran (could use oats or crushed tortialla chips or crushed crackers) 

Topping:

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

1 cup chunky salsa

Directions
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Combine the eggs, salsa, onion, Worcestershire sauce, chilies, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Gently stir the ground turkey and oat bran into the egg mixture. Press into a 8x8 inch square baking pan. Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes.
Remove the loaf from the oven, and drain any liquid from the pan. Spread a layer of salsa on top of the loaf, and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Return the loaf to the oven; bake until the meatloaf reaches 160 degrees F (71 degrees C) and is no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes.
