Time-Saving Kitchen Tool: Box Grater

Any recipe that calls for lots of diced or minced ingredients is a job for your box grater! Just go to town and get grating and you don’t need any knife skills whatsoever. We’re putting the box grater to work for us in getting the onion and carrot into small bits for this moist and best ever meatloaf!

Health Benefits of Turkey

  • Turkey is an excellent source of high quality protein. It’s also lower in saturated fat than red meat. One serving of ground turkey (4 oz or 75 grams) has 21 grams of protein to help with muscle building and healing. Protein also helps you feel satisfied so you won’t be as hungry shortly after your meal.
  • Turkey contains all of the B vitamins, which are used to convert the food you eat into energy. In particular, 1 serving of turkey contains 80% of the amount of vitamin B3 (niacin) most people need in a day. Niacin is needed for important chemical reactions in the body and for healthy skin and nerve function.

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Line an 8x4" loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients - except the barbecue sauce - using your hands (trust me, it tastes better if you mix by hand!)
  3. Bake for 25 minutes. Brush on the barbecue sauce and put your loaf back in the oven. Cook for 10 more minutes. Let cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. Slice and enjoy!
