Turkey Zucchini Cheddar Meatloaf

Ingredents

1 cup grated zucchini         1 cup fat free shredded cheddar

3 TBSP egg whites         1/2 cup onion diced

1/2 cup mushroom dices         3 cloves of garlic minced

bit of s&p       1 pound ground turkey

1 TBSP brown sugar      1 TBSP mustard

2 TBSP Katchup                       

Ok, you will grate your zucchini and keep about a cup. Lay it out on paper towel and place another paper towel on top then smoosh all the liquid out. You of course can use more or less of any ingredent this is just what I threw in the pot. Put zucchini, cheese, egg whites, diced onion, mushrooms, garlic, and s&p in big bowl. Mix well...

You will then add the turkey and mix again. Easier to use your hands so just dig on in there. You will then create 7-8 meatloaf balls and place them in a greased baking dish. In seperate bowl mix the katchup, brown sugar, and mustard. Then spoon on top of each meatloaf. Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Serve :)

back to basics

Im getting tired of this stall im in. SO, back to basics we go. I havent been eating the best so, that will be the first Ill be fixing. And I am upping my exercising. Been slacking there too. Made a new recipe yesterday. I have always liked those toster scramblers, so I decided to make a healthy version!!  I used 6 sheets of phyllo dough, turkey sausage, egg whites, and fat free cheese. It needs less egg and more cheese, but it is still good!! I only eat 1/2 at a time. there just to big!! For 1 whole one it is 139 calories, 1.9g fat, 20mg cholesterol, 600mg sodium, 10g carbs, 19.9g protein. Not to bad if I say so myself!!

Some recipes I love!!

This one I got from bandedwendy. MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!!


This one would be good on a bed of brown rice with some teriaki sauce. That is how the frozen meal thing was, but I edited it around a bit. yummm!
