ABOUT THE RECIPE: Everyone loves this Italian version of a meat loaf made with ground turkey. Calories, fat and cholesterol were reduced by:
* Using egg whites instead of a whole egg;
* Replacing ground beef with ground turkey breast;
* Using shredded apples to add moisture that is lost by eliminating the beef fat;
* Using a reduced-fat spaghetti sauce (less than 1 gram of fat per 4 ounces of sauce).
