High-Protein Turkey Meatloaf with Roasted Russet Potatoes

Ingredients

• 250g Ground turkey, 93% lean, raw
• 300g Raw russet potatoes without skin
• 50g Egg white
• 30g Whole-wheat bread
• 10g Garlic, raw
• 5g Iodized table salt
• 40g Canned tomato sauce

Method

1. 1Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. 2Prepare the potatoes: Dice the russet potatoes into 1-inch cubes (leave skin on for added fiber). Toss on half of the baking sheet, spacing them out evenly. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
3. 3Make the meatloaf mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the ground turkey (93% lean), egg whites, and canned tomato sauce. Mix gently with your hands until just combined—do not overmix as this will make the meatloaf tough.
4. 4Add binder and seasoning: Crumble the whole-wheat bread into the mixture to create breadcrumbs. Mince the raw garlic finely and add to the mixture along with salt and pepper. Mix until just combined, about 30 seconds.
5. 5Shape the meatloaf: Form the mixture into a compact loaf shape (approximately 4" × 8" × 2" thick) on one side of the baking sheet, leaving room for the potatoes. Lightly spray with cooking spray if available, or use a thin brush to apply minimal oil.
6. 6Roast everything: Place the baking sheet in the preheated 375°F oven. Roast for 30-35 minutes until:
7. 7- Meatloaf reaches internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer at the thickest part
8. 8- Potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender
9. 9- A light crust forms on the meatloaf
10. 10Rest the meatloaf: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before plating. This allows the juices to redistribute for better moisture.
11. 11Plate and serve: Transfer the meatloaf to a plate and arrange the roasted potatoes alongside. Drizzle any pan juices over the top if desired.
