Budget-Friendly Herb Garlic Meatloaf
This savory budget-friendly meat loaf is just as good as classic meatloaf. Our diabetes-friendly version is made with lean ground turkey and is seasoned with fresh herbs and garlic. For a complete meal, serve with over roasted sweet potatoes (they can roast alongside the meatloaf in the oven) and a nonstarchy vegetable side or simple green salad.

This meatloaf was delicious. I’m not diabetic, but trying to eat more healthy. The recipe really has a lot of flavor, and I would eat it on a day I wasn’t trying to have better food choices. I highly recommend this. It’s worth it!

Wow this meatloaf recipe, although it didn't hold it's shape and crumbled when I served it, was the most delicious recipe I've ever tasted, the topping balsamic vinegar and ketchup was what made it taste so good,, I didn't have fresh herbs so I used dry in tsp, not sure why it was so crumbly. Maybe instead of bread soaked in egg whites add real whole wheat bread crumbs or oatmeal? It needed something to hold it together.

The meatloaf was crumbly, and didn't like sauce on top.
