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 reducedfat spaghetti sauce (less than
1 gram of fat per 4 ounces of sauce). SOURCE: HEALTHY HOMESTYLE COOKING
