Ingredients (serves 8):

  •     1 small onion, diced
  •     8 oz mushrooms, diced
  •     2 cloves garlic, minced
  •     1 tbsp olive oil
  •     1 small zucchini, grated
  •     2 lbs ground beef or turkey
  •     2 eggs
  •     1/4 cup flour
  •     1 tsp salt
  •     1/2 tsp black pepper
  •     1 tsp dried oregano
  •     1 tsp dried thyme


Directions:

  1.     Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2.     Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, and mushrooms until lightly browned and all the water from the mushrooms has evaporated. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3.     In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, cooked vegetables, grated zucchini, eggs, flour, salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme. Mix until well combined.
  4.     Transfer the mixture to a 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish, shaping it into a loaf.
  5.     Bake for 60 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F/71°C for beef or 165°F/74°C for turkey).
  6.     Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
