Turkey Meatloaf smothered with Mushroom Gravy
This is a fantastic, comforting meal and the whole thing is under 350 calories (including the veggies). The meatloaf is a recipe from Weight Watchers and is published all over the web so I might as well post it here too. The mushroom gravy is my own recipe and I make GREAT gravy. The veggies on the plate are a combination of the baked cauliflower with herbed chevre and some roasted garlic green beans. DELICIOUS!
Weight Watchers' Turkey Parmesan Meatloaf
Makes 8 servings, 181 calories each
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1.25 pounds lean ground turkey
- 4 slices whole-wheat bread, made into fine crumbs (I lightly toasted the bread and then ground them up in the coffee grinder)
- 1/2 cup fat free milk
- 1 egg white, lightly beaten
- 3 Tablespoons ketchup
- 2 Tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt (or some garlic powder and salt)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves, crumbled
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- Preheat oven to 350; spray an 8 x 5 loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a small skillet, heat the oil. Saute the onions until tender, about 5 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, combine the onion, turkey, bread crumbs, milk, egg white, ketchup, cheese, garlic salt, basil, thyme, and pepper; blend well.
- Spread the mixture in the pan evenly. Bake until browned and cooked through, 50-60 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
Mushroom Gravy
2 generous servings!
- 10 medium sized mushrooms, sliced.
- 1 Tablespoon light whipped butter
- 1 Tablespoon all purpose flour
- 1 cup broth, I make mine with Better than Boullion
- 1 teaspoon Gravy Master
- 1 pinch of thyme
- ground pepper to taste
- Spray a saute pan with nonstick spray and saute the mushrooms over medium heat until tender. Remove the mushrooms from the pan.
- Turn the heat down to the lowest setting, and in the same pan add the butter and flour and stir constantly to make a roux.
- Carefully stir in the broth a little at a time to gradually dissolve the roux, eventually adding all of the broth. Stir in the Gravy Master, thyme, and pepper. Add the mushrooms.
- Turn the heat back up to medium and simmer, stirring occassionally, until the desired consistency is reached.
