Meatloaf Sandwiches (Ww)

Submitted by ellie_

"Only 7 pts/ each! I love meatloaf sandwich but they tend to be very points heavy -- so this is an alternative and with only 7 pts/each -- very do-able! Combined with a tossed salad -- this will be dinner or lunch with points to spare! Recipe source: Weight Watchers Magazine (September 2010)"

Tasty meatloaf recipe. I used ground turkey, and used 2 eggs as I do not use egg substitute and followed the rest of the recipe as listed. I did not make a sndwich with the meatloaf, we enjoyed it alone.

Oh...this was SO good!!<br/>I also used real egg, as I can't seem to find egg substitute here in Oz (although I'm sure that it must exist!)<br/>It initially looks like the veggies will dominate the meat,but remember that they do cook down!!<br/>This was so flavoursome with lovely texture from the veggies-we really enjoyed it.....so much so that I keep nibbling at the leftovers in the fridge (such a good job that it's Ww!!).<br/>I'll be making this again without doubt...thanks Ellie!
