Eat-Clean Brown Rice Meatloaf

This is one of my favorite recipes from Tosca Reno’s “The Eat-Clean Diet Cookbook”**:

Ingredients:

1 pound lean ground turkey or chicken or bison

1 cup cooked brown rice

1 egg

3/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt cheese (I just use plain non-fat yogurt);

Go to http://www.eatcleandiet.com/food_and_recipes/clean_recipe/yogurt_cheese.aspx  for yogurt cheese recipe.

1/2 cup finely chopped onion

1/2 cup finely chopped red, green, or yellow bell pepper

1/2 cup finely chopped celery

1 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce or tamari

1 tsp sea salt

Fresh ground black pepper

1 tsp crumbled dried oregano

1 tsp crumbled dried basil

Cooking spray

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350° F

In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients with a pair of clean hands.  Place in a loaf pan that has been prepared with a light coating of nonstick cooking spray.  Bake for about an hour.  Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.
