Turkey Meatloaf!

Let me be clear. This may actually be the first time I ever ate meatloaf. And it was sooo good. Free yourself from from the idea of a greasy thing baked in a bread loaf pan. Also, if you're in Boston, try the Kobe Beef Meatloaf at Pops Restaurant -- I have friends who swear by it! Turkey Meatloaf adapted from Barefoot Contessa and Everyday Italian

  • 1 small onion, diced
  • fresh sage, 1-2 tbsp chopped
  • fresh parsley, 1 tbsp chopped
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • splash chicken stock
  • breadcrumbs
  • 1-2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 lb ground turkey (6% fat)
  • 1 egg
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • ketchup

Oven Roasted Parmesean Fries

  • 5 yukon gold potatoes, cleaned and cut into strips
  • salt & pepper
  • fresh parsley and sage, chopped
  • olive oil
  • grated fresh parmesean.

Saute onion in 1 tbsp butter until translucent. Add sage, parsley, garlic, cook 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and add all but the ketchup. Form into rectangular loaf and place on ungreased cookie sheet, spread with ketchup on top. Bake at 325 for ~1 hr, until reaches 160 degrees internal temperature. Place potatoes on cookie sheet and drizzle with olive oil, herbs, salt & pepper. Bake ~45 mins at 325, turning once with a spatula halfway through. Add grated parmesean directly onto potatoes in last 2-3 mins of cooking. I served with a spinach salad with green pepper and diced red onion. We each had seconds!
