Hi - a lot of you commented that you wanted to start seeing some recipes so once a week, Jayson Hunter, author of The Carb Rotation Diet is going to provide the Abs Diet Recipe of the Week.

This one is spicy turkey meatloaf.

This recipe is loaded with disease fighting nutrients lycopene, lutein and zeaxanthin.

This recipe is also a great protein source.

It fits perfectly into the carb rotation diet as a no carb meal or combined with other foods on a low carb and high carb day.

You can also adjust the level of spiciness by adding more chili powder or less (down here in Texas, we like our meatloaf spicy!!)

1 package (10 oz) frozen spinach, defrosted and squeezed

1 cup chopped tomatoes

2 tsp oregano, dried

1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1 1/2 tbsp chili powder

1/2 cup canned corn, drained

1 1/4 pound ground turkey (93% lean)

1/4 cup chili sauce or ketchup

1/2 cups rolled oats (not quick cooking)

2 large egg whites, beaten until frothy

2 tsp garlic, minced

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°F.

In a large bowl, using a fork, mix together oats, egg whites, and tomatoes. Blend in turkey, chili powder, oregano, garlic, chili sauce or ketchup, and pepper. Mix in spinach and corn.
Pack mixture firmly into a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan that has been lightly coated with cooking oil spray. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes or until juices run clear when meat loaf is pierced with a knife, or internal temperature registers 165°F. Remove from oven and let meat loaf sit at least 15 minutes before serving.

Yummy. This is making me hungry.

After you try the recipe I would love to get your feedback and comments.

So don’t be shy. Did you like this dish? Or is this a one and done (meaning you’ll never make it again)?

Enjoy!

Scott
