Here is my favorite Turkey Meatloaf recipe that is easy to make and easy on the waistline!
I strongly suggest when looking at purchasing ground turkey you pay attention to the nutrition label. Just as ground beef can vary from calories and fat in sirloin, to lean and extra lean so can ground turkey! Try using the Honeysuckle 99% Fat Free Ground Breast of Turkey and not the 93/7 Lean Ground Turkey. There is a huge difference in the amount of fat and saturated fat between the two and to be honest the 93/7 lean ground turkey is no healthier for you over the extra lean ground beef. They key to cooking this recipe and keeping it healthy is limiting the saturated fats, sodium and sugars found in most meatloaf recipes. My goal is to not only give you healthy recipes, but the education behind why they are healthy and how to make your favorite comfort foods in a much healthier way!
Here is the nutrition value difference in Ground Turkey:
93/7 Lean Ground Turkey4 oz
160 calories, 8 g fat and 2.5 g saturated fat
99% Fat Free Ground Turkey4 oz
120 calories, 1 g fat and 0 g saturated fat
Amazing, Quick & Healthy Turkey Meatloaf
1 lb 99% Fat Free Ground Turkey (I prefer Honeysuckle)
1/2 c diced green peppers (frozen work great)
1/2 c diced onion (frozen work great)
1 4oz can no salt added tomato sauce
2 egg whites
1/3 c dry oatmeal
Mrs. Dash or any no salt added garlic blend seasoning
Saute onion and pepper on skillet using Pam-no butter! Once brown add ground turkey and continue cooking all the way through. After the turkey mixture is cooked transfer to a large bowl and mix in egg whites, dry oats and Mrs. Dash seasoning along with 1/2 the can of tomato sauce. Form into a loaf and place onto glass baking dish (spray with Pam first) and spread remainder of tomato sauce on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 45min uncovered. Enjoy with a side of veggies and sweet potato:)
