Turkey Meatloaf With Fig Catsup Food

BEST TURKEY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a jelly roll pan.
• Mix ground turkey, buttery round cracker crumbs, milk, onion, egg, salt, garlic, and black pepper in a bowl; shape into a loaf and place on the prepared jelly roll pan.
• Mix ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in a separate bowl; set aside.
• Bake meatloaf in preheated oven for 30 minutes; remove from oven and drain liquids. Top meatloaf with ketchup topping. Return loaf to oven and continue baking until no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

SLIMMED DOWN TURKEY SPINACH MEATLOAF

Steps:

• For the meatloaf: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat; add the garlic and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and brown, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a food processor along with the spinach, milk, lemon zest, mint, salt, Worcestershire, nutmeg, eggs, potato and some pepper. Pulse until everything is finely chopped and evenly mixed together.
• Use a rubber spatula to transfer the spinach mixture to a bowl. Add the turkey and stir everything together. Transfer the meatloaf mixture to a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan (1 1/2 quarts) and bake until the mixture is cooked through, 1 hour 15 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes.
• For the tomato salad: Meanwhile, chop the tomatoes and toss with the olive oil, parsley and salt in a medium bowl.
• Slice the meatloaf and serve it with the tomato salad.

FIG CATSUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the figs and tomatoes skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Roast until they start to brown and soften, about 40 minutes. Cool, and then remove the tomato skins.
• In a food processor, combine the figs, tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, sorghum, chili paste, coriander, cumin and cinnamon and pulse until combined.
• Put this mixture in a saucepan with the bay leaf and cook over medium-high heat until the mixture begins to boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring often, until it thickens and reduces by a third, about 30 minutes--it will be thick enough so that when you stir it, you'll be able to see the bottom of the pot. Remove the bay leaf and discard. Season with salt.

TURKEY MEATLOAF (NO KETCHUP OR TOMATO)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350.
• Pour 1/4 cup gravy in a large bowl.
• Add meat, stuffing and eggs- mix lightly.
• Shape mixture into a loaf and place in a baking pan.
• Pour 2/3 of the remaining gravy over the meatloaf.
• Bake for about 50 minutes under a loose foil cap, then remove and cook about another 50 minutes until top is browned-
• If desired, potatoes and carrots could be added to the pan around the meatloaf.
• If I do add them, I mix some water with the remaining gravy and pour it over the potatoes.

TURKEY MEATLOAF WITH KETCHUP GLAZE

Steps:

• Add egg white, onion, garlic, bell pepper ( I use both kinds), ketchup, oregano, cumin and salt and pepper.
• Mix well.
• Place mixture in a 9 x 5 loaf pan. Press into pan and smooth the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
• While it is baking, mix topping.
• In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, ketchup and dry mustard.
• Remove the meatloaf from the oven after 40 minutes.
• Drain off some of the liquid that has accumulated. You can save it to use as a gravy if you wish.
• Spread topping over the meatloaf. Bake for an additional 20 minutes or until done.
• Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
