Marvelous Moist Meatloaf (FP or S)

This is an amazing meatloaf adapted from our Marvelous Make Ahead Meatballs in Trim
Healthy Table Cookbook. We adore it so much because it can actually be a FP meat loaf if
made with at least 96% lean ground meat. That means you can have meat loaf with an E
Meal! How fantastic! Do you know how incredibly hard it is to get a moist, tasty meatloaf
using ultra lean meat that can fit with E Meals? It is almost impossible! But thanks to the
hidden, secret okra ingredient that nobody but you should ever know about, this meat loaf is
a family pleasing home run (and makes great sandwiches as leftovers)! This recipe is found in the TH Start, Refresh, Carry On resource.

Cooking Method: Oven Baking

Courses: Dinner, Lunch

Servings: 4

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs ground meat (beef for S or 96% lean turkey or venison for FP)
1/2 cups frozen okra
1/3 large onion
2 1/2 Tbs TH Baking Blend
1 1/4 tsp TH Mineral Salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2-3 cloves fresh garlic (minced; or 1/2-3/4 teaspoon garlic powder)
2 Tbs Parmesan cheese (green can kind is fine)
2 Tbs TH Nutritional Yeast
2 1/2 Tbs TH Gentle Sweet
5 Tbs tomato paste
1/3 cup egg whites
1 Tbs prepared yellow mustard
1 Tbs apple cider vinegar
1 Tbs water

Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a standard loaf pan or an 8 x 8 baking dish with coconut (or other) oil.
2
Put a small chunk of the ground meat in the food processor (about 1⁄8 of a pound). Add the okra, onion, Baking Blend, salt, pepper, garlic, Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon of the Gentle Sweet, 3 tablespoons of the tomato paste and the egg whites then process until completely pureed. This may take a couple minutes of processing. Your goal is not to have any chunky pieces of okra. Process until it is completely broken down.
3
Place the rest of the meat in a bowl, add the contents of the food processor and mix all well together with a fork (or with your hands). Transfer to baking dish and spread loaf mixture inside dish. Whisk together 2 more tablespoons of the tomato paste, the mustard, the leftover1½ tablespoons Gentle Sweet, the apple cider vinegar and water in a small bowl. Pour this sauce over the meat loaf and spread to cover.
4
Bake for 50–55 minutes or until fully cooked through. The loaf will make fluid while cooking, some of which you can pour off once loaf is done but leave some to keep it moist.

Note

MAKE A FAMILY MEAL: For the weight loss plan you can enjoy this as an S using either the FP or S version of this meat loaf. Simply add a side cooked veggie such as steamed broccoli drizzled in butter for S along with a salad with a creamy or oil/vinegar dressing. For an E Meal, stick to the FP version of this meat loaf and have next to a serving of brown rice, quinoa or a medium sweet baked potato. Add in a side salad but keep the dressing lean and E friendly. If you want a straight
up FP meal for a change have with a big side salad with a lean dressing. Family members needing Crossovers need more fat (like grated cheese and creamy dressing on a side salad) if making this an E Meal, or a carb such as rice or whole grain bread if S style.
