Tonight we just ordered a pizza and played board games. It's been rainy and cold outside and I couldn't be bothered to run out and gather the necessary components of anything delicious. To make up for it, I'm posting a really popular recipe that I've made for my friends since college. Have a great weekend! I'll be posting something. I just haven't decided what yet. Any suggestions?
Turkey Meatloaf
Serves 4-6
4 lbs. ground turkey (93% lean)
½ cup seasoned breadcrumbs
2 large eggs
1 tbsp tomato ketchup plus a ¼ cup for basting
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp parmesan cheese
¼ cup chopped parsley
½ cup sautéed onions or shallots
1 tbsp finely minced softened garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Pre-heat oven to 375 F. Mix all ingredients except the turkey in a large mixing bowl until combined. Fold into the turkey until well-combined, not over-mixing. Bake in a loaf pan at 375 F, until cooked through, roughly 45 minutes to an hour. Baste the top of the meatloaf with tomato ketchup. An instant-read thermometer should register 180 F. Allow to rest 15-20 minutes before slicing.

Sounds good!
ReplyDeleteDo you have any recommendations for a ketchup brand where the main ingredient is not high fructose corn syrup? Or, do you have a good homemade ketchup recipe??
Whole Foods makes a decent organic ketchup, but it's still not quite health food. If the corn syrup content is a real concern, I'd substitute good tomato sauce cut with a tablespoon or so of honey.
