Equipment

  • 9×5-inch loaf pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • ½ cup oats or breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ cup marinara sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • In a large bowl, mix all ingredients except the cottage cheese until fully combined.
  • In a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan, press half of the meat mixture into the bottom and shape it to create a shallow well.
  • Spread the cottage cheese evenly in the center.
  • Cover with the remaining meat mixture, sealing the edges to enclose the filling.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until fully cooked through and browned on top.
  • Let rest for a few minutes before slicing to serve.

Notes

  • For a heartier texture, substitute steel-cut oats for rolled oats.
  • This cottage cheese recipe pairs excellently with mashed sweet potatoes or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.
  • Optional: Top with extra marinara sauce during the last 10 minutes of baking for added moisture and flavor.
