Copperblu's Healthy Meatloaf
List of Ingredients
nonstick cooking spray
1 and 1/4 pounds ground turkey (or, if your DH is stubborn like mine, extra lean ground beef, which has similar calorie + fat specs)
1/3 cup plain bread crumbs
1 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup + 1/4 cup barbecue sauce
1 tb Worchestershire sauce (to taste -- I prefer more)
2 egg whites (or 1/4 cup "egg beaters")
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Recipe
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, lightly coat a broiler pan w/nonstick spray
2. Combine turkey/beef, bread crumbs, onion, 1/3 cup bbq sauce, Worchestershire sauce, egg whites, salt + pepper in bowl. Mix well with hands until completely combined.
3. Place mixture in middle of pan + shape into a 10x4" loaf. Spread the remaining 1/4 cup bbq sauce on top.
4. Bake one hour + let stand 5-10 minutes before draining fat and slicing.
Notes:
-You can use more bbq sauce to taste (I add a touch more than the recipe calls for), or substitute some of the bbq w/A-1 for extra kick. I've noticed that too little bbq sauce results in a bland meatloaf, so I don't skimp on that.
-I've found that sometimes this meatloaf is more crumbly than others, which is sometimes helped by being very particular about letting it cool before slicing.
Deanna's Note: DH complained of too much onion in this recipe, so I will cut down to 1/2 a cup next time, and see what he thinks... I also doubled the worcestershire sauce and added a couple of teaspoons of HP sauce. Excellent with Hickory bbq sauce.
