Holdover Bento for 2 - 373 calorie Bento

I made this bento for a car ride with hubbie. We tend to grab things on the way during these drives and the calories just pile on - most of the time with food that isn't worth the calories.

So, I made this bento just in case hunger pangs kick in on a highway. I made just the one bento to share. The pic came out rather crooked...Oh, well...

TURKEY MEATLOAF (yields 6 servings)

1 lb. Lean Turkey

4 Tbsp. No-Salt Ketchup

1/3 cup Plain fine Bread Crumbs

4 Tbsp Red Pepper Spread with Eggplant and Garlic (Trader Joe's)

1/2 Tbsp Black Pepper

1 Egg - beaten

1/2 cup minced Onion

1 tsp. Garlic Powder

Oil spray

Mix 1 tbsp each of Ketchup and Red Pepper Spread - set aside.

Combine and mix rest of ingredients well with a fork - as not to squish it too much.

Lightly spray an oven-safe pan with oil. Distribute meat mixture on pan.Cover with aluminum paper and bake in 350 deg Fahrenheit for approx. 20 minutes.

Uncover, and you will notice juices coming from the meatloaf. Carefully, drain the juices onto the ketchup and pepper spread mixture you set aside.Combine well and spread on top of meatloaf.

Put back in oven, uncovered, until cooked through and sort of crusty on top - approx. 15-20 minutes.
