Homestyle Turkey Meatloaf

Servings: 6
Preparation Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds lean ground turkey
1 onion
4 egg whites
1 cup salsa
3/4 cup old fashioned oats, uncooked ( not instant, or quick cook)
1 pkg Knorr Vegetable recipe mix (find it in instant soup areas I believe)
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 cup ketchup

Directions

1-Preheat oven to 350 F.
2-In a large bowl mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, onion, egg whites, salsa, oats, veggie mix and black pepper. Press mixture into 9 x 5 loaf pan and spread ketchup over top. Bake in pre-heated oven until meatloaf is no longer pink in the center and juice is clear; about 60 minutes.

Just a tip: Not all ground turkey is created equal. Compare fat % as well as nutrition labels! Cheaper has not made the cut on more than one occasion. Jennie-O has been the best! It has 120 calories compared to 160 from other brands. Also the total fat is 1.5 intead of 8 grams as well as 26 grams of protein compared to 22 g! Smiths has Jenni-o. Its Extra lean.

This recipe comes for the Eating For Life Cookbook. Its approved for Body For Life!!!
