Turkey Loaf
Things You'll Need
1/2 c. finely chopped onion
1/4 c. milk
1 slightly beaten egg
2 tbsp. currant jelly - melted
1/4 tsp. dry crushed rosemary
2 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
1 c. chopped broccoli
1 1/2 lbs. raw ground turkey
2/3 c. shredded carrots
1/4 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 c. fine unseasoned bread crumbs
1/2 tsp. crushed dry thyme
1/3 c. chopped red bell pepper
1/2 tsp. black pepper
Instructions
STEP 1: Combine egg, bread crumbs, onion, milk, thyme, rosemary, garlic salt and pepper in a mixing bowl.
STEP 2: Add the turkey and mix well.
STEP 3: Pat the turkey mixture into a 12-by-8-inch rectangle atop a piece of wax paper. Set aside.
STEP 4: Steam the broccoli, carrots and bell peppers for 3 to 4 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
STEP 5: Stir in the Parmesan.
STEP 6: Spread the vegetables over the turkey mixture to within 1 inch of the sides.
STEP 7: Starting at the short end, roll the turkey tightly, using the wax paper to help you lift the turkey mixture. Peel the wax paper away as you roll.
STEP 8: Place the turkey loaf in a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan.
STEP 9: Bake the turkey loaf for 1 to 1 1/4 hours or until the meat is no longer pink.
STEP 10: Brush with melted jelly, if desired, and serve. (The jelly will add a nice color and a sweet edge, but you can skip it.)
