Turkey Meatloaf w/ Mashed Potatoes, Whole Kernel Corn, and Wheat Bread

Dinner Tonight: Turkey Meatloaf w/ Mashed Potatoes, Whole Kernel Corn, and Wheat Bread








Another day and another day of arguing with my prescription insurance. I'm beginning to wonder if it's worth the hassle of switching insurances to save a little money. Live and learn. Warmed up to 40 degrees today, big improvement there! For dinner tonight, nothing but comfort food! I prepared Turkey Meatloaf w/ Mashed Potatoes, Whole Kernel Corn, and Wheat Bread.








For the Turkey I used Jennie - O Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast. To make your Sauce topping you’ll need Ketchup, Worcestershire Sauce, and Heinz 57 Sauce. For the Meatloaf you just combine your spices, (Roasted Ground Cumin, Onion Powder, Parsley, Ground Thyme, Sea Salt, Pepper) melted Butter, and Minced Garlic with the Ground Turkey, Ketchup, and Bread Crumbs. Put equal amounts in your pans or pan and bake at 350 degrees for 50 – 55 minutes. It comes out one delicious Turkey Meatloaf! And as all recipes you can add your own Choice of ingredients. I left the full recipe at the end of the post. Almost forgot, lots leftover so this will make some incredible Meatloaf Sandwiches!








For one side I prepared a must when having Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes. I used Bob Evan's Mashed Potatoes, as usual. Easy to prepare and comes out perfect every time. Then I also heated up a small can of Del Monte Whole Kernel Sweet Corn along with a slice of Klosterman Wheat Bread that I buttered with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. For dessert later  a Healthy Choice Chocolate Swirl Frozen Yogurt.
