Turkey Meatloaf with Zucchini

Remember how Seinfeld’s wife wrote that book about sneaking vegetables into your kids’ food without them knowing? That’s kind of the trick with zucchini, and this is what you’re pulling off in this recipe. We love to eat this meatloaf with a little ketchup on the side, served with a baked yam and some steamed green beans.

2 zuchinnis

1 lb. turkey burger

1/3 c. Italian style bread crumb

1 egg

2 T. ketchup

¼ tsp. salt

¼ tsp pepper

Coarsely shred zucchinis and squeeze between paper towel layers until very dry.  In large bowl with hands, mix zucchini, turkey, bread crumbs, egg, ketchup, salt and pepper.  Form into loaves and freeze in disposable bread pans. Bake in oven at 450 degrees, about 45-60 minutes.
