-
3/4 cup quick-cooking oats, GF certified if needed

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

In a small bowl, stir the oats and milk together.

Thinly slice 1/4 of the onion and set it aside.
-
Finely chop the remaining onion.
-
In a large bowl combine the turkey, oat mixture, chopped onion, bell pepper, eggs, Worcestershire Sauce, ketchup, salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Mix just until well combined.
-
Transfer the mixture into a 9 by 13 inch baking dish. Shape into a loaf about 5 inches wide by 2 1/2 inches high.

Pour the tomato sauce evenly over the meatloaf.

Spread the sliced onions evenly over the top.

Bake for about 1 hour or until a meat thermometer registers 160 degrees.
