This is a lighter version of everyone's favorite comfort food -- savory and delicious, great for sandwiches the next day, this is regularly requested when the fam comes in. Did someone say garlic mashed potatoes? I thought I heard someone say that.... Oh, and if you want to be sure to have leftovers, you can easily double the recipe.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
⅓ cup chicken stock
¾ teaspoon tomato paste
2.5 pounds ground turkey
¾ cup unseasoned bread crumbs
2 large eggs, beaten
½ cup ketchup + 2 tablespoons
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325F degrees.
Heat olive oil over medium-low heat and in a medium-size frying pan, add the onions, salt, pepper, and thyme.
Cook for about 15 minutes or until the onions are translucent but not browned.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, chicken stock, tomato paste, and ⅓ cup ketchup, and mix well.
Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, bread crumbs, eggs, and onion mixture and mix well.
Using a spatula, pour mixture into a 9.5 x 5.5 x 2.5" loaf pan (it will be full!) or two smaller ones.
Cook for about 1.5 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165F degrees.
Allow to cool slightly before slicing.
