Orea's Veggielicious Meatloaf -- Phase 1 compatible

This makes a lot!!! By all means subdivide if you don't plan on

freezing some of it or feeding a crowd. I invented this for a different

diet, but it suits South Beach just as well. My basic idea was to have

a good serving of vegetables for each serving of protein. It also

helps keep the meatloaf moist. Feel free to fiddle with the amounts and

kinds of vegetables, though this is a tried and true recipe that has

been enjoyed as is by many of my friends (and their non dieting

husbands!)

3 pounds ground turkey

4 eggs, beaten

1 green pepper, finely chopped

3 plum tomatoes, finely chopped

1 1/2 cups green onions, finely chopped

3 1/2 cups zucchini, finely chopped

1 t. dry mustard

1 t. chili powder

1 t. thyme

2 t. garlic powder (or to taste)

salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Chop veggies in food processor or by hand. Mix all ingredients in a

big bowl, shape into 2 loaves, place on a baking sheet with a lip or in

loaf pans. Bake at 350 degress until done. I think I left it in an

hour and a half.
