Reduced Fat Turkey Meatloaf

Fiona Haynes
This is one of my favorite meatloaf recipes. Using lean ground turkey, breadcrumbs soaked in milk, and shredded vegetables makes for a flavorful, tender, moist meatloaf. In fact, the recipe yields two turkey meatloaves. Enjoy with skinny mashed potatoes (substituting low fat buttermilk or low fat milk for butter and cream), and your favorite veggies.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups plain breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 cup nonfat milk
  • 1 medium onion, cut into large pieces
  • 1 medium carrot, cut into fourths
  • 1 8 ounce pack sliced mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 1/4 pounds 93 percent lean ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup egg substitute
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1/4 cup tomato ketchup

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil wrap.

Place breadcrumbs and milk in a small bowl, and allow to soak for a few minutes.

Place onion, carrots, and garlic cloves in a food processor with a grater attachment, or grate by hand. Transfer grated vegetables to a large bowl; add mushrooms.

Crumble ground turkey in with the grated vegetables. Add breadcrumb/milk mixture to the vegetable and turkey mixture. Stir well with a fork.

Add egg substitute, Worcestershire sauce and ketchup. Mix well with light fingers.

Divide mixture into two and form two loaves on the baking sheet, each about 7 x 4 inches.

Bake for 50 minutes to an hour. Remove from oven and check the internal temperature has reached 160 degrees F. Allow meatloaves to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Each loaf makes about 8 slices.
