Here’s a simple dinner recipe that is filled with muscle-building protein and fantastic flavor. Serve with a side of cauliflower rice, or a nice big green salad, to increase the fiber content. Leftovers taste even better the next day, so feel free to pack it for a healthy lunch! 

Servings: 12

Ingredients:

•  2 teaspoons olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 Tablespoon tomato paste
• 2 omega-3 rich eggs
• 2.5 pounds organic, ground turkey
• 1 cup ketchup (look for one without high-fructose corn syrup)

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly grease a small casserole pan with olive oil.
2. Place a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil, garlic, onions and peppers. Sauté until soft, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
3. Add the spices, tomato paste, eggs and turkey. Mix well then transfer to the prepared pan, shaping into a loaf.
4. Pour the ketchup evenly over the top of your loaf. Bake for 90 minutes, and until no longer pink in the center.
