Need a meatloaf recipe
Absolutely, doll...here's three to choose from
One is my husband's all time favorite - the Chile Turkey
One is a fave of WLS post ops because it's very moist with the zucchini
And one is a turkey burger recipe that can be made into a meatloaf very easily...simply fill the pan with half the meat...layer some cheese...finish with the rest of the meat and add some salsa to the top if you want.

I LOVE to cook! I came up with this one myself.
Low Carb Italian Stuffed Peppers
1 lb. lean ground beef (I use the 93/7)
1 egg
4 green bell peppers
1 zucchini, diced
1 small sweet yellow onion, diced
1 can tomato sauce
1 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 cup 2% shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
8 turkey pepperoni slices (optional)
Salt & pepper to taste (optional)
Clean and cut tops off peppers. Boil the pepper cup in water for 5 minutes. After boiling, set aside in small baking dish to cool.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Dice up the "waste" (top portion surrounding stems) and set aside. Heat skillet and lightly coat with non-stick spray. Saute diced peppers, diced onion, and diced zucchini. After they're sauteed, remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In bowl, combine ground beef, egg, and tomato sauce. Stir well. Add sauteed vegetables to meat mixture once they have completely cooled. Add Italian Seasoning. Combine ingredients well with a fork.
Fill pepper bowls with beef mixture. You may sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top if desired. Add pepperoni on top of cheese if desired.
If you have excess meat mixture, place it between the peppers.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
*Peppers and meatloaf may have extra liquid due to the tomato sauce and veggies. If this were a non-low-carb recipe it would call for a starch, such as rice or oatmeal, to absorb the juices.
The leftovers freeze well too!
This tasted pretty darn good to us! Enjoy! = )
