Sausage Meatloaf

This is for all those guys in Healthy Exchanges Land who thought they had to forever give up the taste of bulk pork sausage before they met up with me!

Serves 6

16 ounces ground 90% lean turkey or beef
1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon (2 1/4 ounces) dried fine bread crumbs
1 1/2 teaspoons JO's Sausage Seasoning
2 teaspoons dried onion flakes
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup (one 8-ounce can) Hunt's Tomato Sauce*
1 tablespoon Brown Sugar Twin
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

Place 1-cup glass custard cup upside down in a 9-inch deep glass pie plate or use microwave ring mold. Spray pie plate with butter-flavored cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine meat, bread crumbs, JO's Sausage Seasoning, onion flakes, black pepper, and 3/4 cup tomato sauce. Mix well using hands. Pat meat mixture evenly into prepared pie plate. In a small bowl, combine remaining 1/4 cup tomato sauce, Brown Sugar Twin, and parsley flakes. Spread mixture evenly over top of meat loaf mixture. Cover with waxed paper. Microwave on ROAST (70% power) for 15 minutes, turning dish after 8 minutes. Place glass pie plate, covered, on a wire rack and let set 5 minutes before serving. Cut into 6 servings.

HINT: 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon ground sage, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder may be used in place of JO's Sausage Seasoning.
