Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan for the mushrooms, 1 turn for the patties
8 cremini mushrooms, (baby portobellos), chopped
8 shiitake mushrooms, chopped
1 shallot, chopped
Salt and pepper
1 1/3 pounds ground turkey, the average weight of 1 package
3 or 4 sprigs fresh sage, leaves chopped, about 2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, eyeball it
1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning

Steps:

  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add oil, 2 turns of the pan. Add chopped mushrooms and shallots and season with salt and pepper. Saute mushrooms 5 or 6 minutes until dark and tender. Remove from heat. Transfer mushrooms to a bowl and return pan to stove top to preheat to cook patties.
  • Add turkey to the mushroom mixture. Make a well in the center of the meat. Add sage, Worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs and beaten egg and season with salt and pepper. Mix turkey meat loaf and make a small 1-inch patty. Place meat in the hot pan and cook 1 minute on each side. Taste the mini patty to help you adjust seasonings. Divide meat loaf mixture into 4 equal parts by scoring the meat before you form patties. Form 4 equal oval patties 1 inch thick. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan, and arrange patties in the skillet. Cook 6 minutes on each side and transfer to a serving plate or individual dinner plates. Return pan to heat and add butter. When butter melts, whisk in flour and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in stock and season gravy with poultry seasoning, salt and pepper, to taste. Simmer gravy until it reaches desired thickness, and pour over patties, reserving a little to pass at the table.

Steps:

Add ground turkey, chicken sausage and bread crumbs. Mix well with hands, then shape into a loaf. Place into greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.

Tips:

  • Season the meatloaf generously with herbs and spices. Common seasonings include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, and oregano.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough.
  • To prevent the meatloaf from drying out, wrap it in bacon or brush it with olive oil before baking.
  • Cook the meatloaf in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Serve the meatloaf with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, gravy, and green beans.
