The hubs has requested meatloaf and mashed potatoes for dinner. I am wondering what your favorite healthy meatloaf recipe is. I searched the site but came back with alot of option to narrow down. TIA!

    I have a great one:

    1 1/2 pounds lean ground turkey
    1 onion, chopped
    1 bunch spinach, thick stems removed and leaves chopped (about 4 cups)
    1 cup fresh flat-leaf parlsey, chopped
    1/2 c whole-wheat bread crumbs (I can never find these so I use panko)
    2 T Dijon mustard
    1 large egg white
    Kosher salt and black pepper
    1/4 c ketchup

    Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a bowl, combine the turkey, onion, spinach, parsley, bread crumbs, mustard, egg white, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.

    Transfer mixture to a baking sheet and form it into a 10-inch loaf. Spread with the ketchup. Bake until cooked through, about 45-50 minutes.

    I got this from a Real Simple recipe edition last year.

    after much experimentation I've discovered that (for me) I just couldnt come up with a 100% turkey meatloaf that my family and I like.
    Here's my recipe (its in a blog, scroll to the bottom for the actual recipe) http://craptofixifyouaintmartha.blogspot.com/2009/11/oh-meatloaf-how-i-lovehate-you-so.html

    I LOVE the addition of spinach! I "hide" it in everything, including smoothies. I think I'm gonna try this one. Thanks!

    For what its worth, my KIDS love it!!! I think the spinach helps keep it moist, too.

    That recipe w/the spinach sounds great I think I am going to try it also.
