Rainbow Meatloaf

So I've been experimenting again. This time, meatloaf was my victim. Everyone knows you normally put finely minced onion and green bell pepper in meatloaf, but why not add more veggies? Meatloaf can actually be quite healthy with a little extra effort.

The team:

1/2-3/4 cup pureed (or finely minced) carrots.
1/3 cup pureed zucchini
1/4 cup pureed roasted red peppers
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped green bell pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb. ground turkey
salt & pepper
Italian bread crumbs 1/2 cup...maybe more, enough to make everything stick together
Milk, 1/3ish of a cup
Worshire Sauce, 2 tbs at most
1/2 cup plain, all natural, yogurt
1/4 cup wheat bran
tomato sauce (small can)

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Mix everything but the tomato sauce. Dump into slightly oiled pan (I use EVOO). Bake about 25-35 mins or until done. top with sauce and bake another 5 mins. Enjoy.
