i decided to make a meat loaf one night and we took things that were in a out of the house and came out with this!! and it turned out to be the best meat loaf my family and i have ever had. and now i hope its yours too!! (P.S. my mom told me to double the whole recipe because she wanted to share it with the rest of our family) Ingredients:
3/4 cup plain breadcrumbs |
1/2 cup fresh basil |
1/2 cup herb sun-dried tomato packed in oil, chopped |
3 -4 garlic cloves, minced (depends on how much you love garlic) |
3 egg whites |
2 egg yolks |
3 tablespoons 2% low-fat milk |
3/4 cup queso fresco, crumbled |
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper |
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt |
2 tablespoons water |
1 1/2 lbs ground turkey |
2 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
Directions:
1. pre heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. spray 9x 13 pan with cooking spray (i chose this pan so the whole loaf gets a browning, insted of a standard loaf pan).
3. in a lagge bowl, stir together bread crumbs, basil, sun dried tomatoes, garlic, egg whites, egg yolks, milk, queso fresco cheese, salt, pepper, and water.
4. add turkey and mix with hands.
5. (optional) wrap loaf in plastic wrap so it has ends on each side to swing and make the loaf shape. (it would look like how a mint is wrapped) >O< [ ^ this is what the meat loaf should look like] then unwrap and place in pan.
6. OR make your meat loaf in to a loaf shape and place in pan.
7. place pan in oven and bake until an inserted thermometer reads 165 degrees, about 45 mins- to an hour.
8. when you open the oven to check temp, take extra virgin olive oil and brush on top. put back in oven for an extra 5mins to get a nice brown color.
