To make meatloaf healthier, combine lean ground beef with ground turkey and add chopped spinach and plenty of cilantro. Instead of the traditional ketchup glaze, top each meatloaf with slices of tomato, and for a more interesting twist, add a slice of cheddar. Bake in the oven and serve with a green salad in a light dressing.
