My sister called and told me she was making one of my all time favorite meals and not even the Fall of Crock was going to stop me from eating it. I suppose I could have told her she needed to try making it in the crock pot, but oh well. The added bonus being it meant I also got to spend the evening with my niece who without fail serenaded me again during dinner.
My sister and brother-in-law lived moved into my house with me for a while, and as part of their rent, my sister took it upon herself to cook us family dinners most nights. The following recipe very quickly shot to the top of my favorite foods she makes, and I've never tried to make it myself, in part probably because that means I would eat it once a week and it wouldn't be special anymore, and also because it's just nicer when someone else cooks dinner for you. Ladies, am I right?
Tori's Turkey Meatloaf
- 1 T olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2-3 medium zucchini, grated
- 1 1/4 lbs ground turkey breast
- 2 T parsley, chopped
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3/4 C parmesan cheese, grated
- salt and pepper
- 1/4 C breadcrumbs (if necessary)
- Glaze:
- 1/2 C ketchup
- 1 T yellow mustard
- 1 dash hot sauce
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Sweat onions and garlic in olive oil over medium heat until onions become translucent. Add the zucchini and sauté 3 or 4 minutes; move off heat and let cool.
- Combine the egg, cheese and parsley in a large bowl. Add the turkey and mix to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Add the cooled vegetables and mix until integrated. Add up to a 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs if the mixture seems too soggy. Form into a loaf shape on a rimmed pan and bake for an hour, then top with ketchup glaze and bake an additional 15 minutes
The result is yummy tummy and will always get a 5/5 rating. Maybe I should try it out for Big Meat Monday in the pot!
