Ingredients:
2 c cherry or grape tomatoes
1/2 of a large onion (about 1 c)
2-3 cloves fresh garlic
4 medium carrots (about 2 c)
2 c fresh mushrooms
1 bell pepper, with seeds and stem removed
a few leaves of fresh basil
3 oz pepperjack cheese
1 1/4 lb lean ground turkey
2-3 wasa crisps, crushed (or 1/2 c breadcrumbs, oatmeal, crushed crackers, etc)
1 egg
2 T Barbeque sauce
liberal dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger powder
small handful dried parseley
Instructions:
You can do this 2 ways: by hand, which is slow, or in a food processor which is fast and easy.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Shred the first half of the ingredients into a LARGE bowl. (or send them all through the shredding blade of a nice handy dandy cuisinart and dump it all into a large bowl).
Toss in the rest and use your hands to combine thoroughly. (yes you have to touch it)
Transfer the mashed blob into a square 9x9 baking dish and mush it into place (this meatloaf will not hold its shape pre-baking the way many do).
Bake for about an hour - until internal temp is 180 degrees. Check after about 45 minutes.
Yield: 4 servings.
Each serving is approximately 1 veggie, 1 protein, 1 condiment, 1/2 dairy on The New Well
Serve with: Cauliflower Mash for a comfort food-y but super duper healthy dinner
Sounds yummy! (I wonder if I could make changes to produce a vegan meatloaf...)
ReplyDeleteYou could probably play with it and make it using tofu. You would need to add significantly more seasoning though.
