Meatloaf is an easy, tasty family favorite in my house. There are many different versions of Zone meatloaf out there (Zone website, books etc...) but even a family recipe can be modified easily with a few simple changes. Using ground turkey instead of beef, pork or veal is a great first step. Ground turkey takes on the flavor of whatever you are cooking and is a much leaner type of meat. Cut the bread in half in whatever recipe you are using, and make sure you are using a whole grain bread ( I also soak mine in milk to make blending easier).Turkey Meatloaf with Greens- 3 blocks
3 oz turkey meatloaf (2 blocks protein)
1 cup green beans (1 block carb)

I've been stumped for dinner ideas and recipes. This is perfect! I just bought a bunch of turkey meat at costco and was wondering what to do with it. That spinach salad looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteMines cooking now! I agree, the salad looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteMichele-One recipe I found called for oats as opposed to bread crumbs (with the same soak in skim milk idea). What do ya think?
Kelly-I was wondering when you were going to ask about the wine (Aldo's post). My little wine loving friend!
Katie,
ReplyDeleteI have not tried oats, but if you do let me know how it works!
Oats are a great substitute for bread, and they contain lots of fiber! Just soften them some with a little warm water before adding.
