Healthy Turkey Meatloaf

With Fall upon us, the outside air cooling off and the sun setting earlier; comfort foods are cooking up in kitchens all over town! You know the meals our mothers and grandmothers would make when we were children that the whole family enjoyed! As usual, I am constantly putting a healthy spin to traditional favorites like this delicious recipe for Healthy Turkey Meatloaf. The man of the house will never know it is not red meat and the kids will eat it without noticing they are actually eating their vegetables. ;-)

INGREDIENTS:
1lb Lean Ground Turkey
3-4 Celery Stalks (Chopped)
1/2 White Onion (Chopped)
1/2 Red Pepper (Chopped)
2 Eggs
3/4 Cup Salsa (I used Trader Joes Roasted Garlic)
1 Tbsp Ground Mustard
2 Tbsp Spicy Dijon Mustard
2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1/4 Cup Ground Flax Seed
3/4 Cup Wheat Germ (Gluten Allergy - Sub Gluten-Free Bread Crumbs)
Season as Desired (Salt-Free Seasoning Blend, Fresh Ground Black Pepper, Cayenne Pepper, Cumin)

DIRECTIONS:
Pre-Heat Oven to 350 Degrees

Mix ALL ingredients in large mixing bowl

Line baking sheet or pan (8x11 size) with foil and spray with Pam or Cooking Spray of choice.

Form 2 Loaves with Meat Mixture, place onto foil lined baking sheet. I prefer to cook my meatloaf this way so the excess grease/fat cooks out. Once you have your 2 loaves formed, top with remaining salsa. Place in oven, bake for 40-45 minutes & ENJOY!
