I wish you could tell how great this meatloaf tastes by looking at the picture, but you can’t. Truly, the pictures do not do it justice. I apologize. I promise this one tastes delicious.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup Green Puree
2 Tbs. tomato paste
4 Tbs. ketchup, divided
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 medium onion (about 1/2 cup), finely minced or pureed in a food processor
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup rolled oats, ground in a food processor
1/3 cup wheat germ, unsweetened
1 tsp. salt
1 lb. lean ground beef or turkey
Cooking spray for baking sheet

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a baking sheet with oil. In a large bowl, combine the Green Puree and tomato paste, mixing well (with the back of a fork) until the green color turns brownish. Mix in 2 tablespoons of ketchup, egg, onion, Worcestershire, oats, wheat germ, and salt. Add the ground meat to this mixture and mix with your hands until well combined, then shape it into a single rectangular loaf, or 4 mini-loaves, on the prepared baking sheet. Glaze the top and sides of the loaf or loaves with the remaining ketchup, adding a little more if needed to cover the top and sides of the loaf. Bake for about 50 to 55 minutes, until the internal temperature is 160 degrees.
