How to Make a Light Meatloaf

Meatloaf is at the top of everyone's comfort food list. But meatloaf doesn't have to be fattening. Follow these steps to make a lighter version of meatloaf.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Choose your favorite meatloaf recipe.

2. Substitute all or half of the ground beef with ground turkey.

3. Invest in a special meatloaf pan. Meatloaf pans are pans with two parts - one to cook the meatloaf and one to catch any fat drippings away from the meatloaf. Meatloaf pans are inexpensive and easy to use.

4. Form your meatloaf so that it comes to a peak, and so the top is not flat. This will allow fat that collects on the top of the meatloaf as it cooks to drain to the sides.

Tips & Warnings

• Spray both parts of the meatloaf pan with Pam or a similar spray to make cleanup easy.
