Skinny Meatloaf

How many of you grew up eating meatloaf? I certainly did and although my mom was a great cook, meatloaf night was not my favorite. As an adult, I have grown to love meatloaf... I do not use ground beef normally, I always use ground turkey and put a lot of flavors in it, because turkey has much less flavor than ground beef, it is well, bland! So it needs a lot of dressing up :) My children love my turkey meatloaf, but I wanted to try a different recipe. I wanted to try a combination of ground sirloin and ground turkey. I searched around for a recipe and came up with a lower fat ( which we all like) recipe.

I did like the meatloaf, the sauce on top was good.. it's always nice to change things up a bit, that's how you grow as a cook. Next time I may put the sauce that goes on this meatloaf on my turkey meatloaf :)
Along side is some homemade mashed potatoes. Yum, this dinner is great on a cold night, true comfort food.. skinny style!
