Ingredients:
– 1 lbs ground turkey
– 1 cup breadcrumbs
– 1 egg

– 1 tsp garlic powder
– 1 tsp onion powder
– 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
– tsp salt
– tsp black pepper
– 1 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1 cup marinara sauce

Steps:
1. Preheat your oven to 375F 190C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. On the prepared baking sheet, shape the turkey mixture into a flat rectangle.
4. Spread the shredded mozzarella evenly over the center of the rectangle, leaving some space around the edges.
5. Carefully fold the sides of the meatloaf over the cheese, sealing the edges to enclose the mozzarella completely.
6. Spread the marinara sauce over the top of the meatloaf.
7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165F 74C.

Pro Tip: For an extra flavor boost, add a layer of sautéed spinach or sun-dried tomatoes with the mozzarella before folding the meatloaf.
