Comfort food alert, Turkey Meatloaf! Was outside today enjoying the big change in the weather. From hot and humid to a beautiful Fall day, 48 degrees this morning! So I really wanted something good and hearty. I really like this recipe. Easy to fix, delicious, and lower in carbs and calories than most Meatloafs. This one turned out just as good as the last time I made it, if not better. I listed the recipe at the end of the post. I made plenty so there would be leftovers which means Meatloaf Sandwiches! Cold or hot these are fantastic sandwiches.
As sides I had Asparagus, Mashed Potatoes and Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. This Asparagus was a new kind I tried for the first time, and will be using it again. It was a Meijer brand Grilled Asparagus.It comes frozen and you can either Pan fry it, like I did, for 5 minutes or warm it up it the oven. Just drizzled a little Extra Virgin Olive Oil on it and seasoned it with Sea Salt. The Mashed Potatoes were Idahonan Microwavable Mashed Potatoes. For dessert later a Yoplait 100 Calorie Delight Chocolate Eclair Parfait.
