Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 pounds of lean ground meat (half turkey and half beef), 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon each of basil, oregano, and thyme. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 diced onion, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
  3. Form the Loaf: Press the mixture evenly into a loaf pan, shaping it to fit the pan’s dimensions.
  4. Add Marinara Sauce: Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce over the top of the meatloaf, ensuring an even coating.
  5. Bake in the Oven: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  6. Cheese Topping: In the last 5-10 minutes of baking, sprinkle 1/2 cup of Italian cheese mix over the top. Allow it to melt and form a delicious cheesy crust.
  7. Rest and Slice: Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. This helps the juices redistribute. After resting, slice the meatloaf into portions.
