- 1 lb ground turkey (or your meat of choice)
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats, ground up until they resemble breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup shredded zucchini
- 1 small white onion, diced

- 2 tbbs Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tsp salt (2 reserved to drain zucchini)
- 2 tsp ground black pepper
- red and yellow bell peppers, diced (optional)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

To shred the zucchini, use a cheese grater! This is the simplest way to do it without shredding it into a million pieces. Once shredded, coat the zucchini in 2 tsp salt and let stand for 5 minutes. This will help release all the water. Rinse with cold water and use a dish towel to squeeze out any remaining water from the zucchini.
-
In a large bowl, add the turkey, oats, nutritional yeast, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Give it a mix with your hands until everything is incorporated.
-
Next, add the wet ingredients and the veggies. Crack in the egg, add theWorcestershire sauce, the onions, and the peppers (if you have them) and mix everything together again. Your hands are the best tools for this part!

Prepare your 8 X 9 loaf pan by spraying it with oil. Place the mixture into the pan and pat down until it has formed an even loaf. Place in the oven at 375 degrees F for 1 hour.
-
