Leftover Meatloaf

I like to use leftover meatloaf to make soft tacos.

Calories-235kcal Carbs-25 Fat- 9g Protein-21g Sodium-617mg Sugar-5

Crock pot Turkey Meatloaf, 0.5 serving
Santa Fe Tortilla Co. - Homestyle Whole Grain Tortilla, 1 tortilla
Tomato - Cherry Tomato 0.4 ounce
Romaine Lettuce
Onion - Raw Chopped
Kroger - Mexican Style Blend Finely Shredded Cheese
1 tbsp Chobani - Greek Yogurt - Fat Free - Plain
1 tbsp Newmans Own Chunky Mild Salsa - Salsa
1 tbsp Always Save - Taco Sauce Mild

The sodium is a bit high, I didn't realize the taco sauce had so much in it or I would have left it out. I really like this tortilla but I like whole grains.

Comfort Food Revisted

Meatloaf and scalloped potatoes are one of those meals from my childhood. Still good, just reworked.

Now it's Turkey Meatloaf and Scalloped Zucchini & Potatoes. I could have peeled the zucchini which would have made it look more like the traditional scalloped potatoes, but why waste the zucchini peel? I don't really have a meatloaf recipe but I did measure my ingredients to be able to get a nutrition count. Pretty much the standard list; ground turkey, onion, bell pepper, celery leaves, whole wheat bread crumbs, low sodium ketchup, mustard, low sodium Worcestershire sauce, Mrs Dash original, Sriracha Cha, flax (instead of egg), and no salt added diced tomato (canned). I cooked it in the crock pot lined with parchment paper. An hour before it was to be served I brushed the top with ketchup mixed with Worcestershire sauce. When it was time to serve it I picked it up out of the pot with the edges of the parchment paper and set it on the cutting board. The turkey meat was lean and there was very little moisture in the bottom of the pot. I need to experiment a little more with seasoning to give it more flavor, but it was good.
