Main Courses – Meatloaf

Meatloaf
Meatloaf is a popular deli staple, but it is notoriously high in fat and calories. Our version keeps the fat content down, without sacrificing taste and texture.

♥ Replace eggs with egg substitute.
♥ Use low fat saltine crackers instead of breadcrumbs.
♥ Combine turkey meat with ground chuck.
♥ Use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon.
