TURKEY AND VEGETABLE LOAF
This impressive-looking turkey meatloaf is flavored with herbs and a layer of juicy tomatoes and zucchini. As well as the presentation, the baking method caught my attention.

Tips:
- To ensure the loaf doesn't become dry, choose vegetables with high moisture content, such as zucchini, mushrooms, and bell peppers.
- For a more flavorful loaf, roast the vegetables before adding them to the mixture. This caramelizes the vegetables and brings out their natural sweetness.
- If you don't have bread crumbs, you can make your own by toasting and then grinding a few slices of bread in a food processor.
- Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to create a loaf that suits your taste. Some popular options include thyme, rosemary, sage, paprika, and garlic powder.
- To prevent the loaf from sticking to the pan, grease or line it with parchment paper before baking.
