Recipe Instructions

* Note: To make sure you're buying the leanest ground turkey available, check the label. Look for products made with only turkey breast meat. Many ground turkey products contain the dark meat and the fatty skin.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, stir together the egg whites, garlic, basil, salt, rosemary and red pepper. Then stir in the apples, onions and bread crumbs. Add the turkey and mix until well combined.

Spray a 7 1/2- by 3 1/2- by 2-inch or 8- by 4- by 2-inch loaf pan with no-stick spray. Pat the turkey mixture into the pan. Bake for 15 minutes. Spread the spaghetti sauce over the top of the turkey. Bake about 25 minutes more or until the turkey is no longer pink. Let stand for 5 minutes.

Transfer the loaf to a serving plate. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top. Slice and serve.
