Bacon-Spinach Turkey Meat Loaf with Tomato Jam





160 Calories per Serving

Holy cow new favorite recipe!!! This meat loaf was amazing. The prep was super easy and relatively quick and I love how low calorie it is. I steamed some broccoli to serve with it so the whole meal wound up being about 200 calories or so. Also, there was a ton left over afterwards. The hubs and I could eat it again for dinner, but he wanted to take it to work for lunch haha. I highly recommend this recipe and encourage yall to try it!!
