Alternative to Bread in Meatloaf?
Replies

We use cooked quinoa and sauted onions and garlic for extra flavor. :-) Turkey meatloaf is a staple around our house.0

less processed?
You've taken ground up cow flesh and combined it with ground up fat
Then mixed in some spices and formed it into a loaf0 -
I use equal amounts of Panko and oats, and I use pasta sauce (Full Circle Organic has less sodium), never ketchup. I noticed that if I use a 97/7 ground beef or ground turkey, using the oats makes the meatloaf very dry, so I use two eggs instead of one.0

Ditto on the rolled oats. That's what I always use in my meatloaf. Good luck!0

I haven't tried this with meatloaf yet, but one time I added white beans to my turkey burgers. It tasted great, gave it more protein, and also helps stretch a buck since turkey meat is more expensive and beans are not. :happy: Happy cooking!!0

I don't know the ratios because I am a vegetarian (so no actual meatloaf recipes lying around). When I ate meat and made meatloaf-like concoctions, I would just eyeball everything anyway.
If you don't like the texture of rolled oats, you could try oat bran. It is MUCH finer, and due to its fibre content, it is still considered a whole grain (although not TECHNICALLY whole). It's supposed to be really good for you, and it would probably mix into the meat much more easily (in terms of texture).0 -

This is a variation of the old Quaker Oats recipe that I use:
2 lb extra lean ground beef or lean ground turkey
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 cup tomato sauce, ketchup, or salsa
1 lg. egg, beaten
3/4 c. oatmeal
1 tbsp soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup chopped onion
1. Preheat oven to 350 F
2. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
3. Pack firmly into an ungreased loaf pan
4. Bake for 1 1/4 hours
5. Drain off fat and let stand for 5 minutes before slicing
You can also make patties and cook them in a lidded frying pan in a tbsp. of oil. Freeze the patties and heat them individually as you want them.0 -

Just about everyone that eats cow flesh eats it ground up, whether it's ground by machine or teeth. It's hard to swallow a cow whole.0 -

Ahh so that kind of processing is ok?0 -
I use ground flax for filler in homemade burgers, meatballs and meatloaf. Its also great as a thickening agent for sauces.0
-
I use (or have used) crackers, oatmeal (my favorite), rice and crushed oyster crackers and no fillers at all.0
-
Can't have oats or wheat - I use rice. Or, I've also ground up GF rice krispies - that one turned out the best.0
-
I use red lentil and a little water for mosture. Adds fiber and protein...0

Cooked Rice or Quinoa0

This was an awesome recipe. I didn't have low sodium katcup on hand, but the calories came out to about 303 per serving with 96% lean ground beef. Didn't have the rolled oats, had to use regular. I even tossed in some dijon mustard in it. Served with broccoli and mashed potatoes the entire meal came out to just over 400 calories.0 -
if you use enough herbs and spices, you won't need breading to hold it together0
