TOPPING

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil a large piece of foil and line a 9x13 inch metal baking pan with it. In a large bowl, combine the meatloaf ingredients and mix well. Form the meatloaf mixture into a 9x5 inch loaf.* Top the meatloaf with the remaining half-jar of pizza or spaghetti sauce and the sliced olives. Bake for 1½ hours, or until done. Let the meatloaf sit for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

NOTES : Turkey sausage is available in the deli section of most supermarkets. It is a spicy alternative to pork sausage and is lower in fat. *If necessary, add more bread crumbs a tablespoon at a time to make a firm loaf.
