Healthy Meatloaf

Submitted by LAnderson 2

"This meatloaf has so many goodies in it I just call it health loaf! Everyone that has ever tried it loves it, and they are shocked when I tell them how many superfoods are hidden inside. I like to use venison, and I grind several pounds at once and divide it into loaves and freeze it. An alternative might be to use a food processor for the nuts and vegetables, then mix as you normally would. Then on meatloaf night, I thaw one out and throw it in the oven. These amounts are an estimate, I try to gauge how well the ground meat will stay together. Add an extra egg or a little extra oatmeal if you feel it's necessary. Other additions I'm considering: tofu, black beans."

I made this recipe using all ground bison. It was fantastic! Cooking time was a little longer... I would maybe use more seasoning of some sort as well...

I made this recipe using 1/2 ground sirloin & 1/2 ground turkey. It tasted yummy & I felt good about eating it.
