meat loaf pron

I did a "lite" meatloaf from a recipe in "Cuisine at Home". Equal parts ground beef, pork and ....yes..turkey. Came out surprisingly good. The topper though was the "Mushroom/sherry" sauce. Smashed redskins with buttermilk and bacon bits and green beans with some sliced sauteed portabella's.
