Turkey Meatloaf and Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes

Another classic comfort meal the whole family will love for a weeknight dinner, and leftovers make a great meal prepped lunch or dinner later in the week. You can freeze extra portions of the meatloaf to be reheated at a later date, too.

Cauliflower mashed potatoes are a great low carb alternative to your classic mashed potatoes and help you get in an extra serving of veggies! If you do need some more carbs, you can add some regular potatoes into the mix as well.
