meat loaf

1 lb ground turkey

1 small zucchini, grated

1/4 dried breadcrumbs

1 small red onion, chopped

3 garlic cloves, chopped finely

1/4 italian parsley, chopped

1 egg

salt  and pepper

1 tsp red chili flakes

1 tsp habanero hot sauce

glaze

1/4 cup apricot preserves

1/4 cup dijon mustard

Preheat oven to 350°.  Combine first 10 ingredients in a  large bowl and mix well with your hands.  Shape mixture onto a greased, rimmed baking sheet into a loaf shape.  Form shape tightly to release any air bubbles.  Bake for 45 minutes.

Stir together preserves and mustard.  Spread 3/4 glaze over the meatloaf and continue baking until a meat thermometer, inserted, reaches 160°, about 15-2o minutes longer.  Spread remaining glaze over meatloaf and bake another 5 minutes.

Remove meatloaf, slice and serve.
