Quote: I finally made this (a little later than I meant 'cause I was feeling crappy). I found the notes with my modifications and thought I'd share. It was fantastic!!!
Quote: 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!!!]
