Oh Baby! Turkey Farina Meatloaf (skip the breadcrumbs)

Farina (Cream of Wheat) is a great substitute for breadcrumbs as a binding agent with ground meat or even vegetable burgers! It is high in iron and easy to digest, heck, its baby cereal! The Farina keeps the meat moist and doesn’t dry it out like breadcrumbs often do. The texture was also a nice surprise. I was expecting it might be grainy but the Farina absorbs just the right amount of mouisture. Give it a try!
