How to Make Skinny Ball Park Turkey Meatloaf
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking pan or cookie sheet with foil. Set aside.
Step 2: Make the Breadcrumbs
Toast one slice of bread, leaving the crust on. Place it into a blender or food processor and pulse until it turns into fine crumbs.
Step 3: Mix the Ingredients
In a large bowl, add the freshly made breadcrumbs along with the ground turkey, sweet pickle relish, spicy brown mustard, chopped onion, egg white, garlic powder, salt, and fresh ground pepper. Mix everything together well until thoroughly combined.
Step 4: Shape and Bake
Place the meatloaf mixture in the center of your prepared baking pan and shape it into a 12x4-inch loaf by hand. Place in the oven and bake for 60 minutes.
Step 5: Glaze, Rest, and Slice
Remove the meatloaf from the oven. In a small bowl, combine the ketchup and mustard, then spread the topping all over the top of the loaf. Let it sit for at least 5 minutes before cutting into 12 slices to serve.
Pro Tips for Success
When mixing your ballpark meatloaf, combine the ingredients just until incorporated to ensure the turkey stays light and tender rather than dense. Giving the meatloaf a few minutes to rest after adding that tangy stadium glaze allows the slices to set up beautifully so they hold their shape perfectly when serving.

Shopping Tips
I love Milton’s Multi-Grain bread and used it to make the bread crumbs.
Prep Tips
You’ll save a tremendous amount of calories and fat by free forming the meatloaf. If you prepare it the way your Grandma did in a loaf pan, the fat soaks into the loaf. If you don’t like messy hands when mixing the meatloaf mixture, put the ingredients in a large, plastic bag, seal it, then squish the contents together until well mixed.
Serving Tips
Leftovers make a really yummy sandwich. Serve on a sandwich thin, bread or even a hot dog bun! Top with lettuce and tomato. WW Freestyle SmartPoints 4-Blue

Finally had time to make the skinny spinach/feta casserole. I decided to have it as appetizer for Easter and doubled the recipe. Have to say it was so delicious and I had to copy the recipe for family members. Spinach pie without the crust. Yumm! Thanks
