My family loves meatballs, which seem to translate over to a loaf of meat too. Across America meatloaf has often represented a basic family meal. The best part is that you can easily use 99% fat free ground turkey breast or ground chicken breast, which makes it low fat for the grown-ups. Add some ketchup for the kids and it’s a win/win across the board. In addition to that, I can usually make it ahead of time and have my husband bake it while I’m running around with the little beasts. Works well for our lifestyle.
I have tried a bunch of different recipes. I had never tried Skinnytaste’s meatloaf and as far as I’m concerned Skinnytaste is the bible! So, I thought I’d give it a go…
- ¼ cup plus 2 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tsp worcestershire sauce
- ½ small onion, minced
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1.3 lb 99% lean ground turkey
- ½ cup seasoned breadcrumbs (I use 4c Whole Wheat)
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp marjoram
- salt to taste
- Preheat the oven to 350°. In a small bowl combine 2 tbsp ketchup with worcestershire sauce.
- Saute olive oil and onion on low until translucent, remove from heat.
- In a medium bowl mix turkey, onion, breadcrumbs, egg, ¼ cup ketchup, salt and marjoram. Place mixture into a loaf pan or shape into a loaf and place on a baking pan. Spoon sauce on top.
- Bake uncovered for 55-60 minutes, remove from oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before slicing. (I cooked it for 57 minutes and it was OVERDONE)
I stand by the fact that Skinnytaste is amazing when it comes to creative, delicious, low fat recipes. However, I also stand by that my onion soup mix meatloaf is THE.BEST.
But I successfully nourished my children nonetheless, so mission accomplished as far as I’m concerned!!!!
The Winner of the Most Meatloaf Consumption
Eating with zest!!!
Miss Sassy Pants would not let me take a picture of her eating meatloaf. If this was a recipe for soup, I’d be all set.
I'm a mother, wife, daughter, and friend. Until recently I was also an employee. Now that I'm a full time mom, I've decided to make my thoughts, concerns and feelings public.
