Cheesy Turkey Meatloaf

Cheesy Turkey Meatloaf

1 egg (beaten)
1 cup pasta sauce (*can be found at your local grocery store)
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
2 tbsp. fresh basil (chopped)
1/4 tsp. salt
1 lb. ground turkey
1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a bowl, combine the egg, 1/2 cup the pasta sauce, bread crumbs, 2 tbsp. of the basil, garlic, red pepper flakes and 1/4 tsp. salt. Add in the turkey and 1/2 cup of the cheese; mix well. Spoon mixture into a meatloaf pan. Spoon on the remaining pasta sauce and sprinkle over remaining cheese. Bake for 15-17 minutes. Serve.

*Johnna's tip: Meatloaf. Blah, blah, blah...sounds boring, eh?? Well jazz things up if you want more flare:-) Add on more cheese towards the end of the cooking time for more of a comfort meatloaf or sprinkle with some chopped flat leaf parseley...serve with steamed carrots and beets (*JKGF loves beets!). Basically, jazz the meatloaf up the way you like it so it's not the same 'ole boring version you're used to...(*Cheesy mashed potatoes make a good match also...)
