- 1.2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Bring 3/4 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat.
- Place the bulgur in a large blender, core and blend until finely ground, about 1 minute.
- Pour the ground bulgur into the boiling water, cover and set aside OFF the heat until cool, about 30 minutes.
- Position your oven rack so it's in the center of the over and preheat your over to 350 degrees.
- Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
- Once the bulgur is cool, pour it into a large bowl and fluff it with a fork.
- Mix in the ground turkey, egg white, mustard, spice blend, salt and pepper. Use your hands to mix it together and form the mixture into a loaf.
- Place the loaf into your baking dish and cook until browned, about 50 minutes.
- Take the meatloaf out of the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Jazz it up by adding topping your meatloaf with topping your meatloaf with 2 tsps. of either dijon mustard, sugar-free barbecue or tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce or even sugar-free ketchup!
- Bulgur is a great substitute for bread crumbs but if you're in a hurry you can use cooked quinoa (1 cup).
- Make the bulgur a day ahead of time so when you get home from work you just need to throw everything together and sit back and relax while dinner cooks.
