After the second or third time in a week getting lightheaded and dizzy combined with exhaustion, a few lovely running friends suggested I might be anemic. I don’t eat much meat, and have been skipping my usual mixed green salads at lunch recently, so this was probably spot on. *Disclaimer: None of us are doctors, and I did not consult a physician, which is why I did not add iron supplements to my diet*
So, this afternoon I came home to make an iron filled dinner. I roasted veggies, primarily broccoli & Brussels sprouts, heated up some kidney beans, and defrosted a mini turkey meatloaf. I loaded it up with salsa, a little cheese, and a 100 calorie Wholly Guacamole packet.

These look really good! I’m normally turned off by the idea of meatloaf, but these actually sound very tasty. That’s interesting that there is oatmeal in them!
I have always hated meatloaf, but had some ground turkey in the freezer and wanted something I could freeze. A lot of meatloaf recipes use bread, I adore oatmeal. I will put it in just about anything! The only thing I didn’t add in the recipe is spices. I used Mrs. Dash herb and garlic and some salt and pepper, but it could be really good with curry or cumin also!
I need to try this! LOOKS yummy!!! 🙂
Enjoy!
How neat, I had no idea they made pans like that. I’ll have to try this recipe out some day! 🙂
Found it at Target for $12, it was a great purchase! Between things like this and little breads or cakes, its fantastic.
Yum, those look delicious!
Thank you! And they freeze really well, too.
I am 100% making these tonight! Thanks for sharing!

You’re welcome! I just realized I didn’t add any spices, but I stuck to some Mrs. Dash, salt and pepper.
Ooh thanks for sharing! I’ve never made a meatloaf before but I am seriously tempted after looking at these 🙂 Hope it did the trick!
Those mini-meat loaves look good!!
Thanks! They are quite tasty!
Looks good! Plus the fact that they are mini-meatloaves is pretty cute 🙂
I like having the option of adding other protein or grains or using 2 to be filling. And they freeze really well!
