So here's an old favorite of many people... MEAT LOAF! It's easy, goes with almost anything, and fills you right up. This recipe has a twist, though... it's TURKEY meat loaf, so ease up on your beef! If you're looking to pack in some protein, this recipe will do the trick with a whopping 37 grams per serving!
Ingredients:
Meat Loaf: 1/2 pound ground sirloin, 1/2 pound ground turkey breast, 2 eggs, 1 cup crushed whole wheat crackers, 3/4 cup diced onion, 2 cloves crushed garlic, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 3/4 cup barbecue sauce.
Parmesan Squash: 4 zucchini, 4 yellow squash, 2 tablespoon Parmesan cheese.
How To Make It:
Meat Loaf: Mix the beef and turkey until well blended. Add the eggs. Mix in the remaining ingredients, including the half cup of barbecue sauce, until well blended. Form the meat mixture into a loaf shape and place it on a broiler pan. Coat it with the extra barbecue sauce. Cook at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Double-check the internal temerature with a meat thermometer; it should read 160 degrees at least. Makes 4 servings.
Parmesan Squash: Slice the zucchini and squash into rounds. Arrange them in a steamer and steam for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove, pat dry with a paper towel, and toss with the Parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Makes 4 servings.
ENJOY!!!
