Ingredients
- olive oil cooking spray
- 1 Cup onion, minced
- ½ Cups grated carrot
- ½ Cup grated zucchini (squeezed to remove excess liquid)
- ½ Cup red bell pepper, minced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 ¼ Lbs. ground, lean turkey breast
- 5 Tbs egg substitute
- 1 ½ tsp crushed, dried sage
- 1 ½ tsp crushed, dried marjoram
- 1 ½ tsp crushed, dried thyme
- 1 Tbs Dijon
- 1 Tbs tomato paste
- 2 tsp Worcheshire sauce
- 1 Cup rolled oats
- 2 bay leaves
- 5 six-inch pita rounds, cut into quarters
- 3 plum tomatoes, large
- 1 head of Boston lettuce sliced thinly
- 1 jar pickles, thinly sliced
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray.
- Add onion, carrot, zucchini, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook over medium heat, covered, until vegetables wilt, about 5 minutes, stirring twice during the cooking time.
- In a large bowl, combine the turkey, cooked vegetables, egg substitute, herbs, mustard, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and rolled oats. Tip: Since we use very small amounts of tomato paste in our recipes, it's wasteful to purchase a can of tomato paste--instead, we buy a 4.5-ounce (127 g) tube of imported tomato paste. It's available in virtually any large supermarket and will keep for 6 months in the refrigerator, ready to squeeze out in small amounts.
- Stir to combine. Add pepper to taste.
- Form mixture into a loaf and place in an oven-proof baking dish.
- Spray the top of the loaf with cooking spray and place bay leaves on top of the loaf, gently pressing down.
- Bake for 1 hour or until done.
- Allow to cool, then refrigerate.
- Slice into very thin slices, discarding the bay leaves, and place on a platter surrounded by tomatoes, lettuce, and pickles.
- Serve with quartered pita rounds and a few of your favorite mustard options.
