Mini Turkey Meatloaves
What's better than comfort food that doesn't leave you feeling like a slump of mashed potatoes unable to do anything other than plop out on the couch contemplating whether-or-not you really needed to go there!??
Oh don't even pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about!
This is a recipe that used to be accompanied by a video* here at DaniSpies.com BUT got lost in my whole database disaster several months back! I've gotten quite a few emails since asking for the recipe so I figured I'd better get my butt in gear and at least re-post the recipe (even if it no longer has a video!).
It's a pretty, simple straight forward recipe. My personal favorite part of the recipe is the "mini" part. One mini-meatloaf is ONE serving which really excites me because I just love that I get to put the entire meatloaf on my plate and finish the whole thing. It just feels so wrong (and there is some sick part of me loves that!) but as we know there is nothing wrong about it!
Serve this protein packed dish with some green veggies and potatoes and you've got yourself a "Clean-Eating-Comfort-Meal" to be proud of!
*Speaking of videos, clearly I spoke too soon when I suggested that I would have a new video up by now.
Lesson learned: NEW BABY = DON'T MAKE TIME RELATED PROMISES!

Hi Dani,
I noticed you always provide nutrition info for your meals.
Do you work w/a nutritionist or how do you get accurate information for your meals?
Thanks.

I made these on Friday - they were delicious! Everyone loved them. I made them a little smaller, made 8 of them so my husband and I could have the leftovers for lunches.
thank you!

I love the idea of salsa instead of ketchup! I love mealoaf, but I'm not a ketchup fan, and I'm always looking for a suitable alternative. I also like the idea of having my own meatloaf to polish off.
