When it comes to TV dinners, what you see isn't always what you get. The only way to really know the ingredients is to make it yourself. Donna Ruko and Chef Teresa Hansen have four healthy and delicious meals you can cook at home.

Here are the full recipes:

1.  Foil Pack Turkey Apple Meatloaf

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

1 pound ground turkey

½ cup old fashioned oats

¼ cup barbeque sauce

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

3. Core apple and cut into quarters. Add apple into a food processor fitted with a grating blade. Process until the apple is grated. Discard big pieces of apple peel. If you do not have a food processer, use a box grater.

Make Foil Pack

5. Lay 4 large sheets of heavy-duty foil on a flat surface. Spray with non-stick cooking spray.  Evenly divide meatloaf mixture into 4 servings and place in the center of the foil.  Form meatloaf into a 4 inch by 3 inch loaf in each foil pack.  Cover each meatloaf with 1 tablespoon barbeque sauce.  Evenly divide potato and vegetable mixture between the 4 foil packs and place next to meatloaf.

6.  Bring the short ends of the foil together and fold twice to seal; fold in the sides to seal, leaving room for steam.
