Easy turkey meatloaf recipe
Here is an easy, and very healthy, turkey meatloaf recipe that I tried out today, and I was quite suprised by how well it came out. The part about not letting the meatloaf touch the sides is key, its amazing how beautifully it came out of the baking dish. Also, when you add the milk before baking it looks like its way too much, and would make it soggy. But when its actually done cooking, the milk has all been absorbed/evaported. Finally, its a very accessible (i.e. kid-friendly) dish. Hope you enjoy it.
TURKEY MEATLOAF
1 lb. extra lean ground turkey
1/4 cup egg whites
1/4 c. ketchup (use low carb if desired)
1 sm. onion, chopped
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1 c. ground oatmeal
1/4 c. skim milk (use low carb if desired)
2 tsp worchestice sauce
OPTIONAL:
1 tbsp. parsley flakes
thyme leaves
1 stalk diced celery
1 habanero pepper
1 carrot chopped
Mix all ingredients, except oatmeal and milk, together in a large bowl. Then stir in oatmeal until desired consistency (using your hands is easier to mix). Place the mixture in a 2 quart baking dish. Shape with your hands to make an oval, not allowing the loaf to touch the sides. Pour the milk over the meatloaf mixture. Cover the dish with aluminum foil or lid. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, uncover and bake for 10 more minutes.
