Ingredients:
2 pounds ground turkey (white meat)
½ pound lentils
2 tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and diced
½ c bread crumbs (white)
¾ of a medium onion, minced
¼ c egg substitute such as Egg Beaters
¼ tsp dry mustard
¾ tsp chili powder
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper, ground
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 Tbs onion, chopped
1 Tbs carrot, chopped
1 Tbs celery, chopped
6 ounces of mushrooms, sliced
Olive oil
Vegetable oil spray (Pam, etc.) as needed

Directions:

1. Lightly spray a sauté pan with vegetable oil. Saute the onions and garlic until translucent. Chill.
2. In the mixer, combine the turkey (reserving 3 ounces for use in the demi-glaze), lentils, tomatoes, bread crumbs, onions, egg whites, mustard, chili powder, salt, pepper, and garlic. Blend well on low speed. (Be careful not to over mix.)
3. Lightly spray a loaf pan with vegetable oil and pack the meat firmly into the pan.
4. Bake at 350 F until a minimum internal temperature of 165 F. Watch temperature carefully so as not to overcook.
5. Remove from the oven and chill thoroughly.
6. To serve, reheat the meatloaf by slicing into 5 ounce portions. Place on a sheet pan with just enough water to cover the bottom. Cover with foil and bake at 350 F until a minimum temperature of 165 F. Serve with demi-glaze.

Demi-Glaze:

1. In a quart-size sauce pan, use just enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan and sauté the reserved turkey (3 ounces) with 1 tablespoon each of the onion, carrot, and celery for 3-4 minutes.
2. Add 3 c of water and reduce by half.
3. Strain and return to pan. Bring liquid to a boil and thicken with cornstarch. Add salt and pepper to taste.
4. Lightly spray a sauté pan with vegetable spray and sauté mushrooms. Add to demi-glaze and serve.

“Since the meatloaf is baked, chilled, and then sliced and reheated before serving, it is a great dish to make for company because it can be made ahead. Serve it with mashed potatoes made with skim milk and a green vegetable such as broccoli or asparagus and you’ll have a delicious, healthy meal.” – Wilbert Williams
