Preheat oven at 350. Prepare a loaf pan or muffin tins with cooking spray and flour. In a skillet, warm olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, celery, garlic, basil, oregano, and thyme, cover and cook, stirring once or twice, for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
Position a rack in the middle of the oven. In a large bowl, mix together turkey, onion mixture, tomatoes, parsley, egg whites, crumbs, salt, and pepper. Transfer meat mixture to a shallow baking dish and shape it into a flat loaf or muffin tins; smooth the top of the loaf with the back of a spoon. Bake about 1 1/2 hours depending on pan size. Let rest on a rack for 10 minutes before slicing.
