Chicken (or Turkey) Meatloaf

I’ve just finished making chicken meatloaf. When I started to make it I had only added tons of garlic, onion and spices and it was already smelling yummy.

Recipe for two-ish:

1lb lean ground chicken or turkey…or I guess beef
1/2 cup onion chopped
1/4 cup celery diced
Garlic, I minced about 4 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup cooked rice, I’m using brown rice
1 egg white, remember no yolks!
1/2 cup sodium free tomato sauce, I used Hunt’s No Salt Added
1/4tsp oregano
1/4tsp thyme
1/4tsp fresh ground black pepper

In a large bowl, mix chicken, onion, celery and garlic. Mix all spices and then add them to chicken. Mix well. Add egg whites, rice and tomato sauce, mixing with each addition. Put the mixture in a loaf pan and spread a bit more tomato sauce on top. Since I like a bit of spice I squirted a generous amount of Sriracha hot chili sauce on top of the tomato sauce. I baked it for about an 1hr 15mins at 350, uncovered.

Love this sauce on meatloaf. Goes really well on tuna sandwiches too! Once that comes out of the oven, let it sit for a bit and serve it with a side of mashed potatoes.
