Turkey Meatloaf

I have never made a meatloaf before trying this recipe. I searched for a lot of different turkey meatloaf recipes and combined some things of each in developing this recipe. This meatloaf came out really moist and the best part it is low-cal and low-fat!

1/2 cup shredded zucchini
1/2 tsp. salt
1-1/4 lbs. ground turkey
1/4 tsp. salt
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 TBSP tomato paste
1/4 tsp. dried basil
1/4 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
1 - 8 oz. can tomato sauce

Shred zucchini and mix with 1/2 tsp. salt. Let zucchini and salt mixture drain from a strainer for up to 30 minutes, then press out remaining water.

Combine turkey, zucchini, salt, garlic, egg, tomato paste, basil, oregano and bread crumbs in a large mixing bowl. Grease a loaf pan with cooking spray. Shape meatloaf in pan and top with tomato sauce. Bake at 375 degrees for 45-50 minutes.
