Turkey Meatloaf Recipe

Hello!!
So I have been making a lot of one pot meals with Ground Turkey, Veggie and Brown Rice, it's delicious, but I wanted something different.  I decided to make a Turkey Meatloaf, but most of the ones I have made in the past have been pretty tasteless.  I decided to season up the meat and add some sauteed veggies and to use gluten free oats, as normally I omit the breadcrumbs and the meatloaf isn't the same texture as I like.  I just put the 3/4 cup of oats into my Nutribullet for 3 seconds (you can do this in a food processor or blender, as well).  This really did the trick.  So below is the recipe.

Ingredients:

1 cup diced onion
2 ribs of celery, diced into small pieces
3 garlic gloves minced, or 2 tsp of already minced garlic
1 pound of ground turkey
1 egg white (or use the whole egg)
2 tsp Worcester sauce
3/4 cup Gluten Free Oats (ground)
2 tsp ground flax seed (optional, I add it for the nutrients)
1 tsbp tomato paste (or ketchup)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
ketchup


Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Super easy, just saute your onion, celery and garlic in a little olive oil spray in a non-stick pan.  Once cooked, mix everything, except the ketchup, into a bowl and form into a loaf.  Spray a meatloaf pan with olive oil spray and fill with the meat.  Top the meat with as much or as little ketchup as you like.  (I use an organic ketchup and just drizzle a few lines).  Cook for 1 hour.  Serve with a potato and veggie. Enjoy.
