a different kind of meatloaf

in all our nine years of marriage i have never once made meatloaf because i remember him telling me when we were engaged that he didn't care for it.  this version, however, gained his and my children's approval.  

you can make it with pork or turkey.  i used turkey and substituted the fresh parsley, salt and italian seasoning with harry and david's turkey rub.  it's from everyday food magazine.

ingredients

1 1/2 lb ground pork or turkey
2 C thawed frozen hash browns
1 large carrot, shredded
1 small onion, shredded
1/4 C parsley, roughly chopped
2 large egg whites
2 t coarse salt
3/4 t pepper
2 t italian seasoning

directions

mix everything together.  transfer to a parchment-lined loaf pan and form into a loaf.  bake @ 350 until golden brown, about 1 hour.  serve with your favorite gravy.
