If you haven’t discovered ground chicken you need to!! This is a diabetic friendly recipe and it has so much flavor! With my Husband’s illness I have now discovered how to cook low fat, low carb AND low sodium. I have found lots of new ways to create flavor with very little or no salt. I will be posting these healthy recipes along with all my other favorites. Enjoy!!

*8 serving meatloaf  (per serving)  Sat. fat 3.2g \ Sodium 355 mg \ Carbs 8.6g \

*10 serving meatloaf (per serving)  Sat. fat 2.6g \ Sodium 284 mg \ Carbs 6.9g \

**Remember: Ingredients are very important to stay within the sodium, fat and carb guidelines. I have specified product brands to use. If you have no diet restrictions you can use ground turkey or ground beef and other brands you prefer.

This is a 13×9 meatloaf. The servings are pretty large. Recipe can be cut in half or you can cut the pieces smaller. It’s pretty hardy!

Preheat Oven to 400 degrees and spray a 13×9 baking dish with olive oil cooking spray

Combine in a large mixing bowl.. (do not over mix, just until blended)

• 2 lbs. Perdue ground chicken
• 1- 28 oz. can Furmano’s Italian style diced basil garlic oregano tomatoes/ drain slightly
• 1 egg- beaten
• 10 saltine crackers crushed (can add more if sodium isn’t a concern)
• 2 tsp. prepared horseradish
• 1 tbs. E. V. Olive Oil
• (All dry spices are Simply Organic Brand because they don’t add sodium and I love them!)
• 1 tsp. crushed red pepper
• 2 tsp. dried parsley
• 1 tsp. dried oregano
• 1 tsp. Italian Seasoning
• 3/4 tsp. Coriander
• 3/4 tsp. fresh ground pepper
• 1-1\2 tsp garlic powder
• 1-1/2 tsp. onion powder
• 1-1/2 tsp. of fresh chopped basil (you can also use dry 1 tsp.)
• 1/4-1/2 c grated parmesan cheese

Put mixture into baking dish and form into a meatloaf leaving about an inch open all the way around between meatloaf and baking dish. Meatloaf should be about 2 inches high.

** Wash hands thoroughly

Take approx. 1/4 c. of grated Parmesan cheese and sprinkle evenly across meatloaf. If no diet restrictions you can use up to a 1/2 c.

Bake uncovered approx. (Ovens vary)  40-60 min or until internal temp reaches at least 170 degrees and top is golden brown

Cover with foil and let rest 10 min before serving.

Serve with sides of your choice

Is also great as a day 2 meal… like in spaghetti sauce or on a sandwich! 🙂
