VERMONT TURKEY LOAF
We have been using ground turkey in place of ground beef for a while now, and I am always on the lookout for new recipes. I found this in the 2012 "Taste of Home" cookbook (if you don't own it, BUY IT NOW!) and decided to give it a try. It is a thick, dense meatloaf that is loaded with hidden veggies. Even my husband made a comment that he couldn't tell they were in there. The sauce on top also gives is a sweet tanginess that adds to the appeal. It is New England comfort food at it's best!

Steps:
- In a large skillet coated with cooking spray, saute the onion, mushrooms and carrot until tender.
- Remove from heat and cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the vegetables, bread crumbs, salt and pepper.

- Pat into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.

Tips:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the turkey loaf cooks evenly throughout.
- Use ground turkey breast for a leaner loaf. Ground turkey thigh can also be used, but it will result in a fattier loaf.
- Add some chopped vegetables to the loaf for extra flavor and texture. Good options include celery, carrots, onions, and peppers.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices to season the loaf. Common choices include sage, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Moisten the loaf with some broth or milk. This will help to keep it moist and prevent it from becoming dry.
- Bake the loaf for about 1 hour, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Let the loaf cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep it from falling apart.
