I have been trying to revamp my diet lately. I am trying to eliminate artificial preservatives, hydrogenized oils, and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). I'm also trying to limit my white flour and white pasta intake as well. I love my meatloaf recipe and so does the rest of my family, but it has Ritz crackers in it which have all 3 of the things I'm trying eliminate. So, I decided to replace the crackers with rolled oats to make a healthier version of my meatloaf. I liked the way these turned out, and my husband agreed too. I doubled the recipe and made them into muffins. They fell apart more than my regular meatloaf so I might try a little less milk next time.
Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 yellow onion, diced (or 1 Tbsp dried minced onion)
1 egg
1/4 cup or less milk, 1% or fat free (use different milk or even water for dairy-free)
1/4 cup ketchup (I choose ones with no HFCS)
1 Tbsp worcester sauce
1 cup rolled oats
Directions
Combine all ingredients well and divide evenly into large muffin tins (makes about 12 muffin loaves). Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Hide your veggies: put a large handful of finely chopped spinach (I did mine in my food processor) in your meatloaf mix. I can't even tell the difference.
Egg-free: use one of my egg substitutions to the right if you need egg free. I prefer flax seed as my choice.
