Italian Market Meatloaf

From one of Pampered Chef's cookbooks. Sun-dried tomatoes and italian seasonings boost the flavor of a classic Sunday supper.

1 pkg (3 oz) sun-dried tomatoes (dry-pack)
2 lbs ground turkey
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup (2 oz) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup snipped fresh Italian parsley
8 oz can tomato sauce, divided
1 egg
2 garlic cloves, pressed
2 Tbsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1/4 cup red currant jelly, melted (I omitted this)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cover sun-dried tomatoes with boiling water; let stand for 10 minutes. Drain; coarsley chop.

Place ground turkey in large bowl, add bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, tomatoes, onions, parsley, 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce, egg, garlic, seasoningsm salt and pepper. Mix lightly but throughly. Shape meat mixture into loaf pan. Bake 1 hour.

After an hour of baking, spoon remaining tomato sauce over meat loaf. Bake an additional 10 minutes or until meat is no longer pink in center.
