TURKEY MEATLOAF WITH MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• To make the meatloaf: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spray the ring mold pan with the nonstick cooking spray, set aside. Slice off the top 1/3 of the head of garlic. Place on a piece of aluminum foil and spray lightly with cooking spray. Place in the oven and roast for 45 minutes.
• While the garlic is in the oven, start the meatloaf: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, and apples, cook until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer the vegetables to a large bowl. Add the remaining meatloaf ingredients and mix well. Place the meatloaf mixture in the prepared ring mold. Bake until cooked through, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile: make the mashed potatoes: In a large saucepan, cover the potatoes with cold water and add 1 teaspoon of the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook until fork tender, about 30 to 60 minutes depending upon the size of the potatoes. We've found that boiling the potatoes whole, with the skin on gives the potatoes more potato flavor.
• Halve the potatoes crosswise. Put the halves in a ricer cut-side down, and press the potato through the ricer into a bowl. The flesh should easily pass through the holes and the skins remain in the ricer. Discard the skin, and repeat with the remaining potatoes. (Alternatively, peel the cooked potatoes and put through a food mill or mash with a hand-held potato masher.) Immediately add the buttermilk and roasted garlic, to taste, and combine well. Season with the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper, to taste.
• When the meatloaf is done, turn on the broiler. Invert the ring mold onto an ovenproof platter, or, if a baking sheet was used, carefully transfer meatloaf to the platter using a large spatula. Using a spatula, cover the meatloaf on all sides with mashed potatoes, as if frosting a cake. If using a pastry bag, add decorative swirls to the top. Place the platter under the broiler until potatoes are nicely browned, about 12 minutes.
• To make the chutney: Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl.
• Special Equipment: large ring mold pan, pastry bag and tip (optional) .
• *Cooks Note: Yukon gold potatoes have a great buttery appearance when mashed which is a great way to fool the eye when cooking and eating lower fat foods.

TURKEY MEATLOAF SQUARES WITH SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Pierce the sweet potatoes all overwith a fork and microwave until tender, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Combine the turkey, onion, panko and egg in a bowl. Add half each of the ketchup, hoisin sauce and ginger and season with salt and pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined. Form into a 9-by-11-inch rectangle on the prepared baking sheet. Mix the remaining ketchup, hoisin sauce and ginger in a small bowl with 2 tablespoons water; brush over the meat. Bake until golden and cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil until the glaze is just caramelized, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Mix the butter, half of the scallions, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a small bowl. Split the potatoes and top with the scallion butter. Slice the meatloaf and serve with the potatoes. Sprinkle with the remaining scallions.

TURKEY MEATLOAF WITH SIDE OF BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• * Prior to putting meatloaf together, I washed and poked baking potatoes. You can oil or spray with cooking spray and place in the oven directly on the sides of rack and set the timer for 15 minutes, but next time will do sweet potatoes .
• In a mixing bowl, combine the turkey, soup mix, shallots, celery, mushrooms and egg and mix together well. Add bread crumbs (you could use oatmeal or cracker crumbs instead) and as much of the water as needed to make the mixture moist but stay together. Shape into a loaf and place on a baking pan that has been lightly greased or sprayed with Pam. Top with the shredded swiss chesse.
• When the potatoes have baked for 15 minutes , add pan with meatloaf in the center of the oven rack and bake for 30 minutes. At the end of 30 minutes, turn potatoes over and rotate meatloaf pan and bake timer for 20 additional minutes (check with meat thermometer, when it reaches 170-175 degrees) remove from oven and cover with foil and let it rest 10 minutes.
