Turkey Meatloaf

Dr. Keri Peterson
Medical Advisor to the Calorie Control Council

Meatloaf has always been a favorite comfort food of mine but it’s not very healthy.  My mom brought over this lighter version and I loved it so I asked her for the recipe.  You can eat it with or without tomato sauce.  I’ll make it on the weekend for my family and even my two-year-old enjoys it.

Ingredients

3 pounds of lean ground turkey
2 eggs
1 chopped onion
2 stalks chopped carrot
2 stalks chopped celery
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 tbspn Dijon mustard
¾ cup plain panko breadcrumbs

Directions

Saute chopped vegetables in extra virgin olive oil until soft.   Mix veggies with beaten eggs and remaining ingredients.  Mold into a loaf and bake at 350’ for one hour.
