I don't think I do well with onions, but now that it's getting cooler, I'm craving warm comfort foods!

What about leaving the white pepper out? Is white pepper easier to tolerate than black? I've never seen white pepper!

Is this the same recipe that was in the newsletter, btw?

The fresh onions help to make it so moist...but you could just just onion powder too.

There is not a big difference... more for if you wanted to hide the black specs in your dish.... you can use black no problem.

Yes, same one as in the newsletter!

TURKEY MEATLOAF

2 tablespoons butter or margarine (or sub) [didn't use]
1 cup chopped onion [opened freezer and realized, crud, I don't have any chopped onion left. Dumped in onion powder just before "Whoa! too much!" and a hair past "Hmm, not enough".]
3 cloves garlic, minced [didn't want to saute garlic because it would have felt lonely w/o onion, so instead dumped in garlic powder. See qty under onion powder.]
1-1/2 lbs Lean Ground Turkey or Turkey Breast [1.25 lb 'cause all I can get here is the prepackaged Jennie-O stuff.]
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs [No bread in the house. Crushed cornflakes into bowl until it might have passed for 1/2 C.]
1 egg [three egg whites. Why three? Dunno. Sounded like a good idea at the time.]
3/4 cup catsup (1/4 for loaf, 1/2 for top of loaf) [Squirted ketchup into bowl until I figured it resembled a 3/4 C puddle. Referred back to instructions after mixing it in and felt stupid when I realized it was supposed to go on top.]
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce [I didn't measure this, either, but probably more like 2T, because you can redeem anything with Worcestershire sauce!! Except maybe lumpy banana pudding.]
3/4 teaspoon salt [I forgot this, too busy waxing rhapsodic over Worcestershire sauce.]
1/2 teaspoon white pepper [Used black pepper instead, because I'm not classy enough to have white pepper.]

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer mixture to a large bowl; cool 5 minutes.

Add turkey, bread crumbs, egg, 1/4 cup catsup, Worcestershire, salt and pepper to onion mixture; mix well. Pack into an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan. Spread remaining 1/2 cup catsup over top. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until no longer pink in center and internal temperature of loaf reaches 165 degrees. Let stand at room temperature 5 minutes before slicing. Makes 5 servings [Mixed all ingredients together in bowl and baked in muffin tins according to Ashley's post. Made 12 meatloaf cupcakes. Yum!!!]
