Red currant jelly and wine make a quick, rich sauce that is a nice change from the typical ketchup topping. Serve with mashed potatoes. If you decide to freeze one of the meat loaves for later, make half the amount of red currant-wine sauce now and half when you bake the frozen meat loaf. Ingredients:
cooking spray |
3 (1-ounce) slices white bread |
1 cup finely chopped onion |
1 cup (4 ounces) grated fresh parmesan cheese |
1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh basil |
1/3 cup sun-dried tomato sprinkles |
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley |
4 garlic cloves, minced |
2 1/2 pounds ground turkey breast |

1/2 cup red currant jelly |
1/4 cup dry red wine |
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour |
