Do you have a dinner that is just comfort food with a side of childhood memories? That's what meatloaf is to me. I have made some improvements on my mothers recipe but I still like to serve it with a nice big baked potato and broccoli. I've tried to "healthy" up the meatloaf, at least as much as you can really expect to. But the biggest difference between now and growing up... I actually eat the potato, skins included! :)
So here's what you need to do,
1 lb 97% lean ground beef
1 lb ground turkey (mama used ground pork but the turkey is SO SO much leaner)
1 large egg
3/4 cup milk
1 or 2 slices whole wheat bread ripped into small pieces
1/2 cup dry oats
1/2 cup diced onion
1 Tbsp parsley
1 tsp salt
1 tsp oregano
2 tsp basil
1 tsp pepper
use your hands to mix together all the ingredients in a bowl
transfer the mixture into a 9 x 5 loaf pan
Bake for 1 hour at 350'
Optional topping,
Mix together
1/4 cup ketchup
2 T brown sugar
2 T Dijon mustard
After the meat loaf has been baking for 45 minutes spread on this topping and put in back in the oven to bake for 15 minutes longer. (it can also be served on the side if you don't want to force everyone to eat it)
