Ingredients:

• 1 cup onion, chopped
• 2 tsp. canola oil (to sauté onion)
  
• ½ Tbl. Italian Seasoning
  
• 2 Tbl. Worcestershire Sauce
• 20 oz. (1¼ lbs.) ground turkey
• 2 slices whole grain bread toasted, and crumbled
• 1 egg
• ¹/₃ cup ketchup

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325°.
2. Sauté onions in a medium size pan, over medium-low heat, until translucent. (This step is semi optional and can be skipped by chopping the onions fine; they will get cooked along with the turkey).
3. Combine remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl, add onions, and mix well.
4. Press the mixture into a 9x5 loaf pan. (I use this 2-piece nonstick Norpro meatloaf pan which allows some of the fat to drain off.)
5. Bake for 90-minutes. Internal temperature should be 160° when removed from the oven. Let stand 10-minutes; slice and serve.
