Taco Turkey Meatloaf

Ground turkey makes this meatloaf lighter and healthier; cheese and taco seaoning make it delicious. From betterrecipes.com. Again altered even further for calorie and fat content. You might not be able to find whole wheat bread crumbs. I usually de-crust 1-2 slices of whole wheat bread and dry in the oven and then crumble. The last two ingerdients are for the topping. Easily halved or even cut into thirds.
