Bacon-Topped Meat Loaf-
4 Servings | Prep 20 min | Cook 1 hr
INGREDIENTS:
* 1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped
* 1 medium carrot, coarsely chopped
* 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
* 1 garlic clove
* 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
* 11/2 pounds ground turkey

* 11/2 teaspoons salt
* 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°. Place the red bell pepper, carrot, onion and garlic in a food processor and pulse until the mixture is finely chopped. In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped vegetables and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Place the meat mixture in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and, using your hands, form it into a loaf. Cover the loaf with the bacon strips. Bake the meat loaf, uncovered, until cooked through, about 1 hour.
3. Pour off the melted fat, slice the meat loaf and serve.
