Thursday Night Turkey Meat Loaf Valerie Bertinelli Recipe 55

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the ground turkey, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and cook, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon, until brown, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste, chili powder, paprika, allspice, cinnamon, coriander, cumin and cloves; cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and 1 1/2 cups water, and bring to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes. Add the vinegar, Worcestershire and chocolate, and continue to simmer until the flavors have melded and the chili has thickened a little more, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• While the chili simmers, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions.
• Serve the spaghetti topped with chili, Cheddar, and green onions if using.

Steps:

• Directions Preheat the oven to 500°F. Combine the bread and milk in a large bowl and soak for 10 minutes. Add the turkey, eggs, cheese, pancetta, onion, garlic, 1 tablespoon of the ketchup, the parsley, oregano, dried bread crumbs, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well with your hands. Shape into an 8" x 5" loaf and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 325°F and slather the remaining 1/4 cup ketchup all over the top of the loaf. Bake until a meat thermometer inserted in the center of the loaf reads 165 °F, about 45 minutes. Let the meat loaf rest for 10 minutes, then transfer to a platter and serve.

Steps:

• Heat a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the coconut oil and swirl to melt and coat the base of the pot. Add the onion, ginger, garlic, cilantro stems and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the tomato paste and stir to coat the vegetables. Add the curry powder, cumin, coriander and cayenne and stir to combine and toast the spices. Add the tomatoes, stock, and potatoes to the pot. Bring the mixture up to a boil, then turn the heat down to low, cover the pot and let simmer until the potatoes are very tender, about 25 minutes.
• Add the turkey and peas to the pot and simmer until heated through, another 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the cream and lime juice.
• Ladle the curry into bowls and garnish with the chopped cilantro. Serve with rice, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Remove the turkey breast from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Cut 3 pieces of kitchen twine and set aside.
• Add the butter, parsley, lemon zest, thyme, onion powder, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to a small bowl. Use a fork or a rubber spatula to incorporate all of the ingredients into the butter. Set aside.
• Pat the turkey breast dry. Using clean hands, starting at one end of the breast, slide your fingers under the skin to create a pocket between the meat and the skin. Use your hands to transfer the butter into the pocket and smooth the butter into an even layer.
• Use the kitchen twine to tie the turkey horizontally in 3 places. This will help the turkey breast cook evenly and remain juicy. Flip the turkey breast so that it is skin-side down. Drizzle it with 1 teaspoon olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Flip the turkey over and repeat the same seasoning process.
• Arrange the onion slices on a small rimmed baking sheet. Pour 1/3 cup water into the baking sheet and place the turkey breast on top of the onions. Transfer to the oven and roast for 1 hour. Remove the turkey from the oven and baste it with the butter and juices from the baking sheet. Continue to roast until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F, another 20 to 25 minutes. Allow the turkey to cool for 15 minutes. (In this time the internal temperature will rise another 5 degrees.)
• Slice the turkey and serve it with the roasted onions.
