Add the onion, garlic and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, about 7 minutes. Scrape the onion mixture into a large bowl. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the 1/4 cup of parsley and the basil. Let cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375°. Add the ground turkey, turkey sausage, crushed crackers, cheese, mayonnaise, eggs, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, 2 teaspoons of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to the cooled onion mixture. Using your hands, mix gently until combined. Transfer the meat mixture to a parchment paper–lined baking sheet and pat it into a 5-by-11-inch loaf. Bake for about 40 minutes, until the meatloaf is browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 165°. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and spoon the marinara sauce on top. Turn on the broiler and broil the meatloaf until the marinara sauce is browned in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Let the meatloaf stand for 15 minutes, garnish with chopped parsley and serve. Make Ahead The cooked meatloaf can be refrigerated for up to 4 days. Rate it Print
