Enjoy turkey anytime....

Around here, turkey is not reserved for serving only at Thanksgiving, especially turkey breast.  My slow cooker has an oval shape, and I am able to set a turkey breast in it first thing in the morning for it to be ready by dinner time.  This post, however, isn't about THAT kind of turkey.  This is a recipe for using ground turkey breast.  I am fortunate in that I am able to buy this in whatever quantity I wish because it is not a pre-packaged product at my favorite market.:-)  This recipe came in my email from the Food Network collection for Ellie Krieger just last week, so this is the first time for me to make it.  It definitely won't be the last!

TURKEY MEAT LOAF

3/4 cup oats
1/2 cup skim milk
1 medium onion (Slice 1/4 of it, chop the rest).
2 pounds ground turkey breast
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
2 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons Worchester sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
1/2 teaspoon salt
black pepper
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce

- Soak oats in milk while combining the chopped onion, ground turkey, red bell pepper, 2 beaten eggs, the Worchester sauce, ketchup, salt, and pepper.  Then, add in the oat mixture.  Do not overmix, but be sure all ingredients are blended in well.
- Shape into a loaf in a rectangle-size pan.  Pour can of tomato sauce over the loaf, and scatter the sliced onions on top.
- Bake at 350 degrees F. for about an hour.

You will need these ingredients.

Ready to bake.

Baked and ready to serve!

I hope you will give this a try.  It was VERY WELL received around here!  

Thank you for reading.  I truly enjoy your comments.
