I found this on the net
3 lbs gr.turkey
1 cup egg substitute
2 10 oz packages frozen spinich(drained well)
1 cup katsup
1 cup instant oatmeal
2 Tbls. Dejon mustard
2 Tbls. honey
1/4 tsp. minced garlic
2 tsp. dried basil
1/2 cup minced onion
2 8oz cans tomato sauce
Combine all ingredients (exept tomato sauce) in large bowl. Mix well. Dump mixture out on to waxed paper. This is to keep from making such a mess on kitchen counter. Divide mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into small loaves. Place loaves into large cake pan or 1 in. deep cookie sheet. Bake in oven at 350 deg. for 45 mins. Then drizzle tomato sauce over top of each loaf. Place back into oven for 15 mins. more or until juices run clear. Serve with cooked green beans. Very low calorie and low fat. ENJOY !

You can also use veggie-ground meat (a soy-based meat substitute). Or you can cut back on the meat and substitute with lentils or other beans. Keep the rest of the 'filler' and flavorings, maybe add a little breadcrumbs for more consistency (an age-old filler when there isn't enough meat).
The biggest calorie parts of meatloaf are the beef and the eggs and any oil. Cutting these down or out completely will help tremendously. Egg whites work just a well as whole eggs.
also, Extra lean ground beef will result in much less fat in the dish than regular beef. Adding a little more tomato sauce or egg whites will adjust to the dryer meat.
Meatloaf is pretty easy to experiment with. It's one of my faves and I've tried all kinds.
if interested, I can dig up a meatless and dairyfree recipe to play with.

I'd really appreciate a meatless and dairy free meatloaf recipe.. not sure my hubby will like it but I think I would.. I know there are many ways to adjust the recipe.. I just thought getting some ideas from others would help me out before I adjusted it and it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to.
Thanks again.. I do love this site.. Everyone is so great here.
