This recipe was originally created during my time in NY
at the Red Horse Market. We took a traditional meatloaf
and created a lower fat recipe using lean turkey and lots
of vegetables. This dish can be topped with a variety
of gravies or sauces.
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients:
4 lbs. Lean ground turkey
1/4 c. minced garlic
1 c. yellow onion, finely minced
1 c. carrot, finely minced
1 c. celery, finely minced
1/4 c. fresh parsley, chopped
1 T. fresh thyme leaves
1 T. fresh rosemary
1 T. fresh oregano
2 large tomatoes, diced
3 c. bread crumbs
4 eggs
1/4 c. soy sauce
1/4 c. worsteshire sauce
salt and pepper
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine
all of the above ingredients in the order listed. Vigorously
mix together. Shape into a loaf and place on 9x13 baking
dish or cookie sheet (you can also place it in a loaf
pan if you have one). Bake for up to one hour or until
internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
Serving suggestion: Serve with chipotle barbecue
sauce (see Chipotle Barbecue Sauce recipe), any barbecue
sauce you may have on hand, ketchup, veloute sauce, leek
and portabello mushroom gravy (It's Not Just Camp Food
Anymore cookbook), or it is fabulous just by itself.
