Staples, Trois

I found this recipe online and it is unbelievably tasty. Also, because I work and don't necessarily have time to create a lunch in the morning, this can be cut up into a ton of portions and frozen for the grab-and-go experience.

Turkey Meatloaf

Ingredients:
2 eggs, beaten
2 lbs. ground turkey
1 pkg.(6oz) Stove Top stuffing mix for chicken
1C water
3/4C barbeque sauce, divided (make sure it's a tasty sauce, not the crappy stuff)


Directions:
Preheat oven to 375.

In a small bowl,beat eggs lightly with a fork.
Place turkey, stuffing mix, water, beaten eggs, and half of the barbeque sauce in a large bowl.
Mix all ingredients by hand.
Shape meat mixture into an oval loaf in a 13x9" baking dish.
Top meatloaf with remaining half of barbeque sauce.
Bake 1 hour or until cooked thru or meat thermometer reaches 160.


I know that bread and BBQ sauce can be deadly to a diet in large portions, however, you can control your calories and fat intake by cutting it up into portions (you can probably get up to 14 portions out of this). Plus, ground turkey is a whole bunch better than ground beef.
