Ground turkey breast can be dry when it’s used in meat loaf or turkey burgers, but adding fresh vegetables helps to increase the moisture. This recipe proves how that can happen, as this loaf is chockfull of onions, shredded carrots, baby spinach, zucchini, garlic, and fresh rosemary. The loaf is also held together and flavored by a mixture of egg, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Toss the vegetables, ground turkey breast, egg mixture, and quick oats all together to form one of the tastiest, most satisfying loaves you'll ever make. Sprinkle with some shredded mozzarella cheese right before serving as the finishing touch.
