This recipe makes around 19 individual flavorful moist meatloafs (meatloaves is also correct spelling). You can freeze the meatloafs, thaw over night in the refrigerator and heat when you need them. I used Coluccio Brand Bomba Calabrese condiment. It is an inconsistent product and does differ in the amount of heat but it is more flavorful than another brand I tried. This brand of Bomba Calabrese contains artichokes, mushrooms, eggplants, white wine, oregano HOT PEPPERS and other things. It’s full of flavors and great to add to things. I think it’s great to help add flavors to a turkey meatloaf. It just laces the meatloaf slightly with these flavors and didn’t make them spicy just flavorful. You should add to taste.
Ingredients for around 19 servings
3 lb ground turkey (I buy the 3lb package from Sprouts)
2 garlic cloves – microplane or ground to paste
1/2 large sweet onion – mince (I fine slice it and chop till minced)
1 celery rib – mince
2 teaspoons of Bomba Calabrese – preferably Coluccio Brand – or to taste because your taste and your jar might run different than mine.
3 Tablespoons vegetable soup base – (preferably reduced sodium better than bouillon vegetable soup base) this is instead of salt and it adds more flavors.
1 Tablespoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup parsley
1 Tablespoon dried thyme
6 eggs – beaten
8 oz whole wheat panko bread crumbs
non stick canola spray
Directions
Pre-heat oven at 350 degrees F.
Spray sheet pans with non stick spray and set to the side.
You add all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix till everything is mixed well. It’s easier to do all the vegetables, spices and mix with eggs till well mixed. Next I mixed in the turkey and last was the crumbs. I did this all with a fork but you can do it however you like.
Next weigh them out into 4oz portions and shape them in individual meatloafs on the sprayed sheet pans with about an inch space around each meatloaf.
Cook till cooked threw. Mine were done in 20 minutes.
Today I whipped up a simple basic sauce for them.
I used ketchup but it was Kensington Brand that is twice as expensive but is also twice as good as Heinz. Frank’s Red Hot, Worcestershire, a dash of liquid smoke. On a good day I’ll add those flavors to slow roasted peeled tomatoes.
It came out Forking Delicious!
