How to Make Healthy Meatloaf

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients: 1.5 lbs ground venison, 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped carrots, 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, 2 large eggs, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp dried rosemary, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  3. Gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pan, or individual muffin tins for smaller portions.
