Italian Style Meatloaf

This is a delicious recipe that I came across in a low carb cookbook. It has a lot of yummy flavor! My husband even enjoyed this (and he usually isn't into much healthy cooking ).

Ingredients:
1 can (6 oz.) no salt added tomato paste
1/2 cup dry red wine
1/2 cup water
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp dried basil leaves
1/2 tsp dried oregano leaves
1/4 tsp salt
12 oz lean ground beef
12 oz ground turkey breast
1 cup fresh whole wheat bread crumbs (2 slices whole wheat bread: I toasted them and then blended them in my food processor)
1/2 cup shredded zucchini
1/4 cup cholesterol-free egg substitute or 2 egg whites


1.) Preheat oven to 350. Combine tomato paste, wine, water, garlic, basil, oregano and salt in small saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low. Simmer, uncovered, 15 mins. Set aside.

2.) Combine beef, turkey, bread crumbs, zucchini, egg substitute and 1/2 cup reserved tomato mixture in a large bowl. Mix well. Shape into loaf; place into ungreased 9x5x3 inch loaf pan. Bake 45 minutes. Discard drippings. Pour 1/2 cup remaining tomato mixture on top of loaf. Bake an additional 15 minutes. Place on serving platter; cool 10 minutes before slicing.

3.) Enjoy
