How to Make Italian Style Meatloaf

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, 2 cloves garlic, minced, and 1 red bell pepper, chopped, in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a large mixing bowl and let cool completely.
  4. Add 1 pound lean ground beef, 1 pound ground turkey breast, 1 cup breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 large egg, beaten, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the bowl.
  5. Gently mix with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Divide the meat mixture in half.
  7. Grease two loaf pans (approximately 9x5 inches) with olive oil or cooking spray.
  8. Pack each meat mixture into a prepared loaf pan.
  9. Top each meatloaf with 1 cup of your favorite marinara sauce, spreading evenly.
  10. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  11. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
