This Turkey Meatloaf is total comfort food but I am trying to eat healthier and watch those calories without giving up my favorite comfort food.
This Turkey Meatloaf recipe is only about 160 calories a serving and only 2.1 grams of fat.
It shows you can feed your family great family classics that are healthier.
By the way, this recipe is tastier than my basic beef meatloaf, and even if I wasn’t watching those bad little calories, I would choose this one.
This is not your classic Turkey Meatloaf recipe, it has a few added surprises that we are sure you will enjoy.

*Knorr Vegetable Soup mix contains dried onions, carrots, tomato flakes, celery root flakes, leek, cabbage flakes, peas, tomato and broccoli powder! A great way to add flavor and veggies.
Will put this on my "to make" pile (so ever high) as it looks so good Evelyn. I am itching to make your Zucchini Lasagna. Looks like we might get a reprieve today with a bit of warmth before a week of rain ahead here on the Bruce Peninsula. Enjoty your day.
Wow, it looks so delicious, I could dig about a zillion tons of it 🙂
Thanks for linking it up to my Smiles hop, Evelyn.

Your meatloaf does look yummy! My husband is another one who "isn't very agreeable about eating poultry" – I love the way Diane worded it. I asked him why the other day and he explained – "It just doesn't taste enough like beef". Just stopping by from the GRAND Social Linky Party. Thanks for the recipe!
Looks terrific!
So healthy but so delicious looking.
I have yet to try ground turkey, but it sure looks good. Thanks for sharing the recipes at A Humble Bumble, Evelyn 🙂
I am not a big fan of Turkey but this sure looks delicious! Shared on Facebook and Google+ today 🙂 Thank you for joining our party this week, Evelyn!

My mom taught me to use onion soup mix in meatloaf. I am going to have to try this variation!

I love meatloaf!!
I have been meaning to make meatloaf for such a long time, thanks for the reminder. I love the idea of using something other than beef mince 🙂
oh that looks just yum!
This looks so delicious. I am trying to use turkey more in place of beef. I've never used the veggie soup mix…eager to try it!
I've never used turkey for meatloaf. I'll have to try this. It looks great! Thanks for linking up on Tried and True Recipes: http://rediscovermom.blogspot.com/2013/04/tried-and-true-recipes-8.html
I love the idea of the salsa and vegetable soup mix. I bet it gives great flavor to the meatloaf. Thanks for sharing on Thursdays Treasures.

I love using turkey instead of ground beef. So much healthier and tastes just as good. Your meatloaf recipe looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing at Wicked Good Wednesdays!
Love, love, love using oats instead of breadcrumbs in meatloaf. Evelyn, your enthusiasm for a healthy lifestyle always impresses me. I'm usually pulled to the dark side by Pinterest & Google + images!
I have never used Knorr Vegetable Soup mix and it sounds good, as does this recipe. Thanks for linking 🙂
Thanks for this. Your recipe sounds delish and reminded me that I haven't made turkey loaf for awhile. My hubby is going to be so glad you posted this. 😀 Thanks for sharing.

This looks so delicious! I love me some meatloaf! YUMMY! Thanks for sharing with Random Recipe Roundup! 😀 Zannie @ mymixingspoon.com
Great recipe I shared and I am Pinning.
I love finding new recipes for turkey meatloaf and yours looks delish!
We love using turkey in our meatloaf and your recipe looks wonderful!
I think I prefer turkey in meat loaf. This looks so appetizing
My family enjoys meatloaf and they would have no idea I used turkey. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Meatloaf is one of my most favorite things to eat. I have never used ground turkey before, it just might be time to end that! This looks so good.
Is sodium content high in the Knorr seasoning?
It's not bad, 1/4 of the entire package is about 670 mg of sodium which is less than 1/3 of my daily required amount. (It's always best to check with your doctor concerning your daily requirements)
I’ve made this several times and we absolutely LOVE it! But I’m curious how many servings this makes for it to be 160 cals/serving?
Thanks!
And again this is one of my favorite meals even if I wasn’t watching calories!
It is one of our favorite meals also. This recipe serves 6. We are in the process of updating many of our recipes with new easier to print options which will include the servings. Thank you so much for your kind comments.
