Meatloaf II

1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef or turkey
3/4 cup oats
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup catsup
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (I used soy)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt

Heat oven to 350°F. Combine all ingredients in large bowl; mix lightly but thoroughly.

Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until meatloaf is to medium doneness (160°F for beef, 170°F for turkey), until not pink in center and juices show no pink color. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.

Cover and refrigerate leftovers promptly and use within 2 days, or wrap airtight and freeze up to 3 months.
