For many years Brussel Sprouts was one of the only vegetables I didn’t care for. Incredible as it may seem I had Brussel sprouts at a local restaurant and since then I have added them to our family meals.
Moreover, my picky eater is not a fan of Brussel Sprouts. However, he raved about this dish, although I didn’t tell him there were Brussel Sprouts on top of the meatloaf and he did not ask.
Notes:
Imagination took over and I added kale to the ground turkey and powdered bone broth to amp up the flavor. Seeing that I had Brussel Sprouts I made the decision to swap out the cabbage in place of Brussel Sprout. Additionally, I added white balsamic vinegar to add more flavor to the sprouts. Boy, Am I glad I did as the Meatloaf is so incredible, healthy, quick, and easy. Did I mention that this is healthy and only 7 carbs per serving? Incredibly this ground turkey tastes like beef.
I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does. Consequently, Amazon sells White Balsamic Vinegar. Enjoy with a salad topped with Rosemary Red Onion Dressing.
