Turkey Meatloaf with Feta and Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Prep Time:
15 min
Inactive Prep Time:
5 min
Cook Time:
45 min
Level:
Easy
Serves:
6 @205 cals per serving (made with the bread crumbs) + add calories for the garlic cloves if you use them. Mom won't eat them so I skip it. lol.

Ingredients
Vegetable cooking spray
1/2 cup plain bread crumbs(Progresso Italian style) or I have also used (oatmeal or 1/2 oatmeal, 1/2 bread crumbs)
1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf Parsley (fresh or 6 tsp dried)
1/4 cup chopped garlic and herb-marinated sun-dried tomatoes(Bella Sun Luc
2 cloves garlic, minced, optional
2 eggs, at room temperature, lightly beaten
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Dash of sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound ground turkey,(93/7 Foster Farms)
1 tsp of red pepper flakes (optional) I also like to add cayenne! Some like it hot! lol.
Directions
Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Spray a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, stir together the bread crumbs, parsley, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, if using, eggs, milk, feta, salt, and pepper. Add the turkey and gently stir to combine, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Carefully pack the meat mixture into the prepared pan and bake until the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and slice. Put on a serving platter and serve.

NOTE: This is an altered version of Giada's meatloaf the way I made it! I wanted to be sure and blog it this time, as people usually ask when they see it in my diary.

NOTE: to decrease sodium. . .you can use just oatmeal without the breadcrumbs. . .and it lowers the calorie count. . Just a thought

I'll be better about recipes next week, guys. This week is a little crazy for me

I have a meatloaf recipe that only uses 4 ingredients:

one lb lean ground beef (I use 93/7)
one egg, beaten
1/2 cup salsa (I had Target brand on hand)
1/2 cup bread crumbs (had Albertson's brand on hand)

Mix all together, bake at 350 for 45 minutes to an hour. I used a 8x8 pan and got 9 servings. Per serving, 113 calories!

MakeupDameGetsFit

this is my ultimate goal so I'm in! anyone can feel free to add me as a friend. I can use ALL the support I can get!

GREAT pasta idea...

use your favorite low-call marinara sauce with lean ground turkey or make your own sauce with two diced roma tomatoes, garlic, oregano and whatever else you like sautee in separate pan from meat, drain meat and add to tomatoes and spices,

For noodles, take a zucchini or squash and slice very thin or use a slicer to make long strips. Boil water and blanch the strips... drain and use as noodles!!! Feels like pasta but with NO noodles, I LOVE this!! Because I honestly think I love the sauce most.

Guys, Jade closed this group a while ago because the numbers were big enough for her to handle this time around. The new closed group thread is here:

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/299534-200-club-closed-group-new-link-for-members

There is a chart with all the names of the people who made the cutoff, you can double check it and start posting there!
