Round Turkey Loaves


Friday night is traditionally chicken night but occasionally, we switch to something else, particularly a meal that my husband likes.  Since, we have cut back on meat and poultry, he does not get some of the dishes, he used to love.  One of these is meatloaf, whether it be meat, chicken or turkey.  Hubby loves any kind of meatloaf.


Over the  years, I  have varied what goes into them, layered them, hid other food in them.  Meatloaf was fun to make because of the variety.  I am not a big fan of meatloaf though.  I will eat it and consider it to be fine but I don't walk away praising it.


Last Friday was one of these change of pace days.  I made  turkey loaves in round shapes.  I have aluminum foil pans that are perfect for this.  I love the individual servings.  My recipe was based on the following recipe but altered quite a bit.


Round Turkey Loaves

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon oil
1 cup onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 pound ground turkey
1 carrot, shredded
1 onion, shredded
1 zucchini, shredded
1/4 cup flax seed meal
1/2 cup instant mashed potatoes (dry state)
1/4 cup egg substitute
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon black pepper Method:


Cook onion and garlic in oil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Place mixture in a large bowl to cool for 5 minutes. Add shredded vegetables.

Combine turkey, bread crumbs, egg, 1/4 cup of the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce and pepper with onion mixture.

Press meatloaf into 4 round, 2 inch forms. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 35 minutes.

Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

Image
It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
