Porcupine Meat Loaf

Healthy Exchanges July 2001, pg 7

I loved porcupine meatballs when I was growing up - this is just an updated version of that old standby.

16 oz extra lean ground turkey or beef
1 1/2 cups cooked rice
1 (10 3/4 oz) can Healthy Request Tomato Soup*
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1 teaspoon dried onion flakes

In a large bowl, combine meat, rice, 1/2 cup tomato soup, parsley flakes and onion flakes. Pat mixture into a microwavable baking ring. Evenly spoon remaining tomato soup over top. Microwave on HIGH (100% power) for 14 minutes. Let set for 5 minutes. Cut into 6 servings.

Serves 6 - Each serving equals:
