Turkey Meatloaf with Feta & Sun-Dried Tomatoes

A perfect weeknight dinner! I remember the 1st time I made this. Chris said, "Meatloaf for dinner?? I really don't like Meatloaf." I think my response went something like this... "Just eat it. Be happy I made dinner." (Ha!) Well, he loved it! I've made it several times since then & it is always surprisingly good! Ben loves it, too! :)

Since the recipe calls for ground turkey instead of ground beef it doesn't leave you with that "heavy, greasy feeling" after you're done eating. Serve with some veggies & potatoes on the side & you've got yourself an easy dinner!

Turkey Meatloaf with Feta & Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Cooking spray
1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup chopped garlic & herb-marinated sun-dried tomatoes (or whatever you can find!)
2 cloves garlic, minced/finely chopped
2 eggs, @ room temperature, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons whole milk
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 lb ground turkey thigh

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, stir together the bread crumbs, parsley, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, eggs, milk, feta, salt, & pepper. Add the turkey & gently stir to combine, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Carefully pack the meat mixture into the prepared pan & bake for about 45-60 minutes. Remove from the oven & let rest for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board & slice.
