HEALTHY MEATLOAF & MEATBALLS WITH GRAVY OAMC

Steps:

• Position oven racks near the center of the oven to allow room for the two pans.
• Preheat oven to 450°F Line 2 jelly roll pans (low-sided baking pans) with foil; spray with a cooking oil spray, such as Pam.
• In a large bowl, combine the meats, eggs, soup mix, breadcrumbs and milk. Make sure it's very well mixed - you don't want to see streaks of turkey or beef. A stand mixer with a paddle blade on low speed makes quick work of it.
• At this point, you can form the meat mixture into one meatloaf and meatballs as I do, or all meatballs or two meatloaves as you wish. Meatloaf should be formed directly on a jelly roll pan. Shape it into an oval about 3" high. Please don't use a loaf pan. Cooking it in a loaf pan will result in a steamed texture. Cooking it in an open pan will allow a nice brown crust to form.
• Spray top and sides of meatloaf with Pam.
• Put meatloaf into the oven and REDUCE oven temperature to 375°F Bake 45 - 60 minutes. Test for doneness with thermometer - 160°F.
• Remember, this contains poultry, it MUST be well done. When done, remove to a platter, slice and serve with gravy. To freeze, slice, allow to cool and wrap individual slices airtight. Thaw before re-heating.
• While the meatloaf starts cooking, form the rest of the meat mixture into 1" meatballs. A small ice cream style scoop works well and makes uniform sized balls. Place the balls on a jelly roll pan. Spray meatballs with Pam and bake 30 - 40 minutes, turning after 20 minutes. Test for doneness (160F). Freeze meatballs on the pan, after they are frozen, remove to a ziptop freezer bag.
• To serve, combine gravy ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add frozen meatballs and simmer for 7-10 minutes, then drain and add to gravy. Good with noodles.

TURKEY AND QUINOA MEATLOAF-HEALTHY

• 2. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• 3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute; remove from heat to cool.
• 4. Stir the turkey, cooked quinoa, onions, tomato paste, hot sauce, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire, egg, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well combined. The mixture will be very moist.

• 5. Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Let the meatloaf cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

HEALTHY TURKEY VEGGIE MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Heat your oven to 375 degrees. Spray a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray. Chop one small onion and sauté it with one tablespoon of olive oil. Once the onions are soft, add the baby spinach. You may need to add an additional half a tablespoon-tablespoon of olive oil to prevent burning and sticking. Once the spinach is wilted, allow the mixture to cool. Add one slightly beaten egg to your turkey meat. Throw in the bread crumbs (You can omit the bread crumbs for carb free cooking-it doesn't alter the recipe too much-it's mearely a binding agent.) and add ketchup and Sriracha. If you prefer something more flavorful, add more of both. Sprinkle on the crushed red pepper flakes, and add Adobo, salt, and pepper to your desired taste. If adding red peppers, do so now. Once the spinach/onion mixture is cool enough to touch, add to the turkey mix. Blend together all ingredients with your hands until they are combined. Make sure to not overly blend the mix as it can become tough. Add the mixture to your sprayed loaf pan. Cook the meat loaf for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, crank up the heat to 400 and cook until desired crispiness.
