How to Make Italian Style Meatloaf
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- 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.
- Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a large mixing bowl and let cool completely.
- 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.
- Gently mix with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the meat mixture in half.
- Grease two loaf pans (approximately 9x5 inches) with olive oil or cooking spray.
- Pack each meat mixture into a prepared loaf pan.
- Top each meatloaf with 1 cup of your favorite marinara sauce, spreading evenly.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
