Turkey Taco meatloaf...

So I was trying to think of something fun to share with you and after racking my brain i decided it would be fun to share a recipe! I love to cook (hate doing dishes) and I would love to share some of my favorite recipes with you every once in a while. So without further Ado...

If you've never explored the world of "Hungry Girl" I recomened that you head over to their website (google "Hungry Girl") or pick up one of their cook books. They have some fun recipes that are healthy and very easy to make. Their recipes are espically great if you are only cooking for 1 or 2, but they are also easy to double. I do have to warn you that they are big fans of some weird ingredients...but there really are some fun recipes...this ones a favorite!

Turkey Taco Meatloaf (HG calls it crazy-good turkey taco meatloaf)
Ingredients:
1lb raw extra-lean ground turkey
2 slices fat-free cheddar cheese (i just guess and use more of the shredded)
1/2 cup shredded fat-free cheedar cheese
1/2 cup canned sweet corn
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 a packet of dry taco seasoning mix

1. Preheat oven to 357*
2. cook peppers and onion for 3mins over medium heat in a pan sprayed with nonstick spray
3. in a large bowl combine onions, pepper, turkey, corn, and seasoning mix.
4. spread half of the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9"x5" loaf pan sprayed with nonstick spray
5. layer the 2 slices of cheese on top of the mixture and then top with the remaining mixture.
6. pour salsa on top and cook for 30mins.
7. Top loaf with shredded cheese and cook for another 15mins.


This is packed with good flavor and...i know it's suppose to be healthy...but...I recommend serving it with a heaping helping of mashed potatos!
Enjoy!

  1. Whoa! 357 degrees??!!?? That's pretty specific! Our oven isn't very good at attaining and staying at a set temperature... we have to keep a close eye on it...

    But this recipe definitely sounds like one I'd enjoy!!!
