Since I’ve been working on my series on dieting and metabolism, I’ve neglected posting some of my new recipes. This turkey meatloaf has good flavor by itself, and is good with salsa, low-sodium catsup, or mustard. I like to put a slice inside a whole wheat pita with some thinly sliced onions and mustard for lunch. Two slices make a good entrée for dinner accompanied by vegetables, a salad, and either a baked potato or baked sweet potato with non-fat sour cream. I boosted the protein and kept the sodium very low by using soy bread crumbs; if these aren’t available, you can substitute bread crumbs. This recipe makes 12 slices. Each slice contains 68.58 calories, 13.14 g protein, 3.29 g carbohydrates, .78 g fiber, .41 g fat, and 67.17 mg sodium.
Ingredients
19.2 oz. white ground turkey breast (I used Honeysuckle White)
1/3 C soy bread crumbs
3 T egg whites
½ C chopped sweet onion
1 T chili powder
2 T prepared mustard
3 T sodium free catsup
Cavender’s salt free all purpose Greek seasoning-to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the catsup, mix remaining ingredients, and form into a loaf. Place loaf into a shallow pan and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 1 hour, remove foil and spread 2 tablespoons of catsup over the top of the load. Return the loaf to the oven uncovered for 15-20 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
