This is a Trader Joe's recipe that I slightly altered. It's actually REALLY good, and it's filling- I make it almost every week (my fiance says it's one of his favorites!) I consider 1/4 of the recipe a serving and it's 277 calories. I don't have kids but because this is flavorful and slightly sweet because of the sauce on top, I think they would like it.

1 lb 93% lean ground turkey
1/4 cup Trader Joes General Tsao sauce (keep 1 tbs of this separate from the rest of the 1/4 cup)
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 beaten egg
2 tsp raw ginger, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup green onion, diced
1/2 red bell pepper, diced

Mix all ingredients together, except the reserved tablespoon of sauce. Cover pan (preferably a loaf pan) with foil, or use non-stick spray such as Pam. Put mixture into pan- if your pan is not a loaf pan, simply shape the mixture into a loaf shape (it sticks together well enough for this to be done easily).

Bake at 350 degrees for 60 minutes. Then top with reserved sauce and bake another 10 minutes.
