Roast Turkey Meatloaf
1 diced onion
1 garlic cloves lightly minced
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 tomatoes, peeled and seeded and chopped
½ tsp. crumbled dried oregano
½ tsp. crumbled dried basil
¼ cup dry red wine
1 chopped large green bell pepper
1 zucchini, scrubbed and trimmed and chopped
1 cup fresh chopped parsley leaves
6 fresh chopped basil leaves
2 lbs. ground turkey
1 ½ cups fresh bread crumbs
1 tsp. white pepper
1 large whole egg, beaten lightly
2 large egg whites, beaten lightly
1. In a medium saucepan cook half of the onion and the garlic in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until the onion is softened. Add to this the tomatoes, oregano, basil and wine. Simmer the tomato sauce, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
2. Chop the remaining onion with bell pepper and zucchini into a fine mixture. You may use a food processor to do this. Combine in a large bowl the chopped vegetables with the tomato sauce, parsley, fresh basil, turkey, bread crumbs, white pepper, whole egg, egg whites and salt to taste.
3. Divide the turkey mixture between two loaf pans that are sized 8 ½ inches by 4 ½ inches by 2 ½ inches. Bake the turkey loaves in a pre-heated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Serves 8 to 10 people.
Make up a quick turkey gravy or a brown gravy from a gravy packet and mix with a small amount of the turkey drippings from when you browned the turkey for a nice dressing. Whatever you do, don’t put ketchup on this masterful main dish! It is not your average meat loaf and just ketchup won’t do.
