Turkey Loaf

A classic keenie kitchen dish is the turkey meatloaf.  I have a simple delectable recipe that will please everyone's taste buds, serve with mashed potatoes, or ketchup for little kids. I like a nice warm plate of brown rice and garlic asparagus so that is how this night's dinner ended up for us.

Shopping List:
  • 1 package of ground turkey
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tblspn of ketchup
  • 1 tblspn of dijon mustard
  • 1 tblspn of parsley
  • 1/2 tsp of salt
  • 1/2 tsp of cracked pepper
  • 2 slices of an onion chopped
  • Bread Crumbs
Putting it together:
  1. Preheat the oven to 375
  2. In a bowl combine your egg, ketchup, dijon, S&P, parsley, and whip it together.
  3. Add the turkey, fold the ingredients together
  4. Chop up the onion, and add to a sizzling pan of whipped butter (about 1 tblspn, or less). Cook it on a medium low heat so the onion does NOT brown.
  5. Combine the onion with the turkey mixture.
  6. Sprinkle a healthy dose of bread crumbs, combine with a fork so you aren't pounding the meat. Add another layer until the meat starts to stick together in small clumps (about 1/2 cup)
  7. Form your meat, stick in the oven, its about 35 minutes, but until the juices are almost done pouring out.
  8. 
    Before it was cooked
    
  9. Let it sit for a few minutes so it redistributes the juices and it doesn't leak out. Carve. Eat!
