Turkey Meatloaf served with mashed cauliflower



Ingredients:
1 pkg ground turkey
3 tbsp sun dried tomato pesto*
2 tbsp BBQ sauce
1/2 tsp salt
couple of turns from the pepper mill
* you can buy this in the pub lix deli


Directions:
Heat oven to 300.
Mix all ingredients together thoroughly and form into a loaf. Once this is done and loaf is formed,place into a non-stick loaf pan. You will cook this for 15-20minutes.Once done, remove loaf and let cool about 20-30 min. Heat grill on med-high heat. Once loaf is cooled slice to 1/2 in pieces. Spray a non stick spray on cooking area,place pieces on grill and let cook for about five min only on one side.(for diamond marks lay piece straight up and down and half way through cooking turn 1/4 turn and let cook for the other half)

The good thing about using turkey and any other lean meat you will not have to use any egg or bread crumbs. There is no need for the eggs and crumbs due to the fact there is no fat in the meat and thus the loaf will not just fall apart. I'm sure you could add ketchup (I hate ketchup) to this, but please try it without it first.

I have made sandwiches this week and added Colby cheese, and they turned out really well.
