About

Everyone loves this Italian version of a meat loaf made with ground turkey. Calories, fat and cholesterol were reduced by:* Using egg whites instead of a whole egg;* Replacing ground beef with ground turkey breast;* Using shredded apples to add moisture that is lost by eliminating the beef fat;* Using a reduced-fat spaghetti sauce (less than 1 gram of fat per 4 ounces of sauce).
