"Only 7 pts/ each! I love meatloaf sandwich but they tend to be very points heavy -- so this is an alternative and with only 7 pts/each -- very do-able! Combined with a tossed salad -- this will be dinner or lunch with points to spare! Recipe source: Weight Watchers Magazine (September 2010)"

Tasty meatloaf recipe. I used ground turkey, and used 2 eggs as I do not use egg substitute and followed the rest of the recipe as listed. I did not make a sndwich with the meatloaf, we enjoyed it alone.

Oh...this was SO good!! I also used real egg, as I can't seem to find egg substitute here in Oz (although I'm sure that it must exist!) It initially looks like the veggies will dominate the meat,but remember that they do cook down!! This was so flavoursome with lovely texture from the veggies-we really enjoyed it.....so much so that I keep nibbling at the leftovers in the fridge (such a good job that it's Ww!!). I'll be making this again without doubt...thanks Ellie!

I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!
