Italian Meat Loaf (4.5 Pts) Recipe
Ingredients:
2 egg whites, lightly beaten 2 cloves garlic, minced 3/4 tsp dried basil 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp dried rosemary 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper 1 medium apple, peeled, cored and finely shredded 1/2 cup chopped onions 1/2 cup fine dry seasoned bread crumbs 1 lb ground turkey breast (see note) 2/3 cup reduced-fat spaghetti sauce 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, stir together the egg whites, garlic, basil, salt, rosemary and red pepper. Then stir in the apples, onions and bread crumbs. Add the turkey and mix until well combined. Spray a 7 1/2-by-3 1/2-by-2-inch or 8-by-4-by-2-inch loaf pan with no-stick spray. Pat the turkey mixture into the pan. Bake for 15 minutes. Spread the spaghetti sauce over the top of the turkey. Bake about 25 minutes more or until the turkey is no longer pink. Let stand for 5 minutes. Transfer the loaf to a serving plate. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top. Slice and serve.
Note: To make sure you're buying the leanest ground turkey available, check the label. Look for products made with only turkey breast meat. Many ground turkey products contain the dark meat and the fatty skin.
