On the hunt for a healthy meatloaf recipe? This Weight Watchers Meatloaf is amazing. Made using ground turkey and a top secret ingredient (carrots, shhhh) — this dish is light and flavorful. Don’t tell the kids, but the carrots add moisture as it bakes and sneak in a veggie to your meal as an extra bonus.
Weight Watchers Meatloaf Recipe
By the beginning of May, I had lost 10 pounds on Weight Watchers. I was doing really well and staying on track. Then May rolled around and started off with a business trip to St. Louis, right now we’re hosting company and eating out a lot aaaaand my birthday is this week. Bring on the CAKE!
So, do you see my dilemma here? Yeah. I decided to go easy on myself for the rest of the month. I’m using the excuse that it’s my birthday month, so let’s just roll with it. Okay? (wink).
I love meatloaf. I’ve even shared a couple of other great meatloaf recipes in the past. How about you, do you like meatloaf? I have so many childhood memories of family dinners that included meatloaf being served with potatoes and a vegetable. Not to mention the laughs, memories and conversations.
I’m sure you’re thinking, “Yeah, I like meatloaf — but a healthy version?”
