Do you have the recipe for turkey meatloaf ?

i just use ground turkey and whatever veggies i have - any of the following usually -

onion
green pepper
garlic
spinach
chopped cabbage
riced cauliflower
seasonings

top them with salsa or a little hot sauce

cook them at 400 for about 25 minutes

Cool, and there was me thinking breadcrumbs were not optional ... I'll give that a crack.

My fave is my tuna wraps.

1-2 cans of tuna mixed with olive oil, tomatoes, celery, avocado, salt & pepper. Spoon over 3 large romaine lettuce outer leafs. Amazing & very healthy!

Is that really 1-2 or should it be 1/2? 2 cans seems an awful lot?

I love this! I work 3p-1130p so I eat lunch and dinner at work.....so I yes I love love this idea.
I usually bring some sort of sandwich either I made it or stopped at subway on the way to work or I eat lean pockets, not so much fun

I love to make Turkey or Chicken stuffed green/red bell peppers and they are even better the next day. I send my guy off with them to work whenever I make them. Plus, just the half of the pepper fills you up...you can skip the rice and add other things like tomatoes and veggies with the meat. Or use less brown rice. Can't figure out how to get pics off my phone.

How do I add a picture? so that everyone can see it?

OP: here is a thread all of low-carb ideas/recipes:

Feel free to browse my diary, too. Just omit sweet potatoes/rice, etc if you want lower carbs, I increased mine for my activity level. I mostly eat meat/poultryfish, veggies, and add some fat for flavor. I mostly use leftovers for lunches the next day.
