Turkey Meatloaf w/ Mashed Potatoes, Sliced Carrots, and...

Dinner Tonight: Turkey Meatloaf w/ Mashed Potatoes, Sliced Carrots, and Whole Grain Bread



Comfort food delight,We had  Turkey Meatloaf tonight!. I really like this recipe. Easy to fix, delicious, and lower in carbs and calories than most Meatloaf. I made it in 3 mini loaf pans, 1 for dinner and 2 to freeze. Nothing but good things for the seasoning, Smoked Cumin, Onion Powder, Ground Thyme to name a few. Another good thing are the Meatloaf left overs which means Meatloaf Sandwiches! I listed the recipe at the end of the post. I had sides of boiled Sliced Carrots, Idahoan Mashed Potatoes, and Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. A slice of Pillsbury Nut Quick Bread for dessert later.
