Turkey Meatloves with Gravy

This was a new recipe for me lastnight and it was good. The gravy turned out good, too. I was a bit hesitant to try ground turkey, as was my husband but it really was good. I served it with the Sweet Potato Puff and a salad. MMMMM.....Love comfort food :)

Meatloaf Ingredients:
  • 2 pounds ground turkey
  • 2 slices whole wheat bread, toasted and finely chopped
  • 1-1/2 cups chicken stock, divided
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 large shallot, finely chopped (I used half of a large onion, finely chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme (I used dried and added a little extra)
  • 2 tablespoons grainy mustard
  • 2 tablespoons marmalade (I used pineapple-apricot preserves)
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil, for drizzling
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Gravy Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Splash of Orange Juice
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Mix the meat with the bread, splash of stock (1/2 cup or so) egg, shallot, thyme and the marmalade combined with mustard, salt and pepper. Form 6 mini meatloaves and arrange them on a parchment paper baking pan. Cover with a drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and roast until golden brown, 20 minutes or so.

For the gravy, over medium heat in a skillet, melt butter. Whisk in the flour for 1 minute, then whisk in a splash of orange juice, Worcestershire sauce and 1 cup of chicken stock. Thicken for a few minutes and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

I like to slice the mini meatloaves and then pour the gravy over each sliced loaf.

VERY YUMMY!!!
