Menu Monday: Turkey Meatloaf

I have made this meatloaf countless times. It is so yummy and my husband actually asks me to make it! It's also a great way to sneak veggies onto your kid's plate. There are 1,000 calories in the entire meatloaf.

Ingredients:

1 TBSP olive oil

3/4 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup chopped celery

1/2 cup diced carrot

1 clove garlic, minced

5 slices of the low calorie bread - there is one that has 35 calories a slice. Put in food processor to make bread crumbs. Or just tear apart with your hands, like I do!

2 eggs or 1/2 cup of egg white substitute

1 TBSP soy sauce

1/4 tsp cumin

1/4 tsp paprika

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 bottle of chili sauce - divided, I think Kroger's brand is the best

1 pound ground turkey - use at least 93/7

Directions:

1. Turn oven to 375 F

2. Heat oil in medium skillet. Add onion, celery, carrots and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes or until veggies start to soften. Add a little water if the mixture starts to get dry.

3. Transfer veggies to large bowl. Add eggs, bread crumbs, ground turkey, soy sauce, cumin, paprika, black pepper and 3/4 bottle of chili sauce. Stir well until blended.

4. Pat mixture into a bread loaf pan. Top with remaining chili sauce.

5. Bake meatloaf for 45 minutes. Cut into middle to make sure the turkey has cooked all the way.
