Better than Mom's Meatloaf

Turkey Meatloaf



I have never been a fan of meatloaf and when we were kids we would ask "what's for dinner?" and every once in a while my mom would tell us "Meatloaf" I would be thinking of 50 ways to get that off my plate and not in my mouth! So I was pleasantly surprised when I made this little creation for dinner and ended up loving it! I also cut out any idea, remnant and trace of putting ketchup on this for a few reasons one being I think ketchup is gross and it has a ton of sugar! Reason being more the first one than the second haha! This recipe is so basic and so simple you will have it prepped and put in the oven in less than 10 minutes! We will have to get our hands a little dirty so roll up those sleeves and let's hit the kitchen!

Skinny Grocery List:

Make that list and Check it twice! Let's try to not hit the candy isle :)

20oz Jennie-O 99/1 Extra Lean Ground Turkey

1 1/2 Tbsp. Mrs. Dash Onion and Herb Spice

1 1/2 Tbsp. Garlic Salt

1/2 Tsp. Dried Basil

2 Large Egg Whites (3 Small)

8oz Tomato Sauce (Great Brand to look for is Sprouts Organic Tomato Sauce) Look at the Sugar and carb content before you buy this - a lot of brands have too too too much sugar! Remember sugar turns into FAT!

Turkey Loaf Basics
Remember Your Non-Stick Spray :)



Tools to Turkey Heaven:

Medium Mixing Bowl

Measuring Spoons - Remember measuring everything is what creates changes!

Bread Pan - I always like to use Glass baking Dishes - Easier to clean and watch the progress while it's cooking.

Mixing Spoon

Your Hands :) - (Optional) Make sure they are clean because we are mixing our meat and spices with those little mitts!

Cookie Sheet with Lip (Optional) - See Directions



Don't forget those little Mitts :)



Directions to Skinny Results Big Taste:
Note: I am a garlic Lover so if you want to cut back on any of the garlic, go for it!

- Preheat oven to 405 Degrees

- Mix with your hands or with a mixing spoon Egg whites, Turkey, 1 Tbsp. Garlic Salt, 1 Tbsp. Mrs. Dash Onion and Herb

- Mix in with a Spoon 5oz Tomato Sauce (little over half the Can)

1) Mix Spices, Eggs and Turkey 2 - 3) Stir in 5oz Sauce
4) Grab Your Non-Stick Spray :)

- Spray your Bread Pan generously with Non-Stick Cooking Spray

- Pack Turkey Mixture into the Pan Tightly avoiding most of the air pockets

- Top Loaf with the remainder of your Tomato Sauce, 1/2 Tbsp. Garlic Salt, 1/2 Tbsp. Mrs. Dash Onion and Herb and 1/2 Tsp. Dried Basil

- Lightly stir together over the Turkey Loaf

- Cover with Foil

5) Coat Pan with Non-Stick Spray 6) Pack Turkey Mixture into Pan Tightly
7) Top with Sauce and Spices - Stir 8) Cover with Foil

- Next I suggest to Pull out a Cookie Sheet and Place your Turkey Pan on top of this to prevent any spillage into your oven. You will thank me! I know my Cleaning Lady Does I do!

- Place on your Middle Rack and set timer for 50 Minutes (If it needs more baking time add 10 Minutes)

- Remember to Clean up and do those Dishes so we can enjoy our dinner sooner!

Place on Cookie Sheet and Set on Middle Rack in your Oven

- After your timer has expired remove loaf from oven (HOT!!) and check your turkey if it is fully cooked. (Should not show any signs of "Pink")
- Drain Excess water from your pan (Careful!!!) (Some of the toppings will drain with this, which is ok. If you see any white build up on the top of your loaf remove with a spoon or fork)

Drain and Remove any White Build up
Set for approx 10 Minutes

- Let your Loaf set for approximately 10 Minutes before serving.
- Set the Table and Enjoy! Mmmm Mmmm Meat Loaf! Pairs great with Steamed Broccoli or Green Beans! Deliciously Skinny Dinner! YUM
