"A healthful version of meatloaf that doesn't sacrifice taste for a lower fat content. Put leftovers on onion rolls with lettuce and tomato for a great sandwich treat."

1 1/2 pounds ground turkey

1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
3 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons Creole or Cajun seasoning
1 egg white (beaten to blend)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
Creole mustard or other spicy mustard

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine first 9 ingredients in large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Place turkey mixture in 9x5-inch nonstick loaf pan.

Cover and bake 20 minutes. Spread top with mustard. Bake uncovered another 35 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cut into slices.
