Healthy Turkey Meatloaf

I had a few requests for the Turkey meatloaf recipe that my kids LOVE!!! A lot of my favorite recipes that I sometimes adapt a bit to accommodate ingredients that I have on hand come from Tosca Reno's "Clean Eating" cookbooks and the "Clean Eating" magazines I have picked up.Ingredients:
1 lb Lean ground turkey
1 cup onion, diced
3/4 cup natural oatmeal
1/2 cup carrots, grated
2 egg whites, whisked
2 tsp dried Italian seasoning, divided
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1 6-oz can tomato paste
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp agave nectar
Instructions:
One: Preheat oven to 350F.  In a medium bowl, combine turkey, onion, oatmeal, carrots, egg whites, 1 tsp seasoning and cayenne. This is where I added 1-2 cups of grated zucchini as well.  Place mixture in a 9" loaf pan.
Two: In another medium bowl, whisk together tomato paste, vinegar, garlic, remaining 1 tsp seasoning and agave.  Spread tomato mixture over meatloaf.  Bake for 45-50 min.

Side dish idea: Steam 1 head of cauliflower (cut into pieces) for 15 min. Boil 2 turnips (skin removed cut into 1/4 " pieces) for 20 min.--->mash cauliflower and turnip, oil, basil, S&P together.  Makes 4 cups mash.
OR toss pieces in oil, basil and S&P and bake in the oven with the meatloaf!!!
Serves 4.
