Low-Fat Turkey Meatloaf (with lots of veggies)

Meatloaf is one of those delicious, comfort-foods that I just can't give up. I was so excited when I stumbled upon Cook Yourself Thin's healthier spin-off. The following is a slight variation of her original recipe.

Ingredients:

• 3/4 C dried cranberries (and/or frozen)
• 4 T mustard
• 1/3 C milk (we use non-dairy)
• 1 slice of dry, wheat bread
• 1 small onion
• 3/4 C parsley
• 2 carrots (+ lots more for surrounding it)
• 1/2 t salt, 1/2 t pepper
• 2 T oil
• 1 lb extra-lean ground turkey
• 1 egg white
• 1 lb parsnips and lots of carrots

Soak the dried bread in the milk. Blend 1/2 C cranberries and the 4 T mustard. In a separate, large bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 C berries, chopped onion, chopped parsley, salt and pepper, 2 carrots, egg white, 1 T oil, and ground turkey. Mold and place in a casserole dish. Spread blended berry-mustard mixture on tip. Surround the loaf with additional carrots and parsnips. Lightly drizzle with 1 T oil and salt and pepper. Bake at 400* for 1 hour. (It makes about 4 servings.)
