Turkey Meatloaf
I ran away from home yesterday and left Ava with her very capable, if not particularly willing, father. I am back, but don't know where they are. I am not so desperate as to call yet and find out.
My weekend can be summed up in:
Hotel $(more than I want to say)
Dinner solo: $50
(where I had a sampler of three glasses of wine, drank all of one, part of the others, an appetizer and dessert)
Gas to get there: $15
Time alone, to swim, read, write, and rest:
Dare I say it?
Priceless.
Then I came home, at first reluctantly, but bought the ingreds to make turkey meatloaf, found I didn't have a recipe, so as usual, made one up.
Julie's (TM) Turkey Meatloaf
1 lb ground turkey (pref mix white/dark, but all dark rather than all white)
2/3 cup oatmeal, whole or instant
1 large egg
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup catsup or ketchup, as you prefer
1/4 cup shredded zucchini
Scramble egg. Put all ingredients in a bowl and mix with fork or hands until, well, mixed. Put in loaf pan, the 8x4 size. Bake in 350 degree oven for 30-45 minutes or until meat thermometer says 165 degrees.
Note that my measurements are ALWAYS approximate, a bit more or a bit less of anything still works. Zucchini helps the whole thing from drying up like a swim suit left out in 100 degree weather. Why not beef? I don't like the taste of beef, although sometimes I'll tolerate it in hamburgers, I avoid it whenever possible.
No guarantees, expressed, hinted at, and especially written. I liked it, hope you do too.

Hey, I like the new groovy look of your site.
Yay for you for making your OWN meatloaf for YOU.

Yay for you. Running away can be healthy. Wine for dinner can be healthy. A hotel stay can be healthy, even if your wallet doesn't want to acknowledge it as being so.
Smoochies.
