Since it’s disgustly cold here on the east coast, comfort food is still on the menu. Another recent foray involved risotto and turkey meatloaf (which I prefer over beef, it’s lighter and has more flavor (or at least a more unique flavor).
Gluten Free Turkey Meatloaf
Ingredients:
- 1-1 1/4 pounds of ground turkey
- 1/2 c. gluten free bread crumbs (you can make your own or I used Aleia’s Italian flavored)
- 1/4 c. cornmeal
- 1/4 c. ground parmesean cheese
- 1 1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning
- 3/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 small shallot, sauted until soft or equivalent amount of dried shallot, rehydrated.
- 1 egg, if desired, beaten
Mix together the ingredients (easiest by hand, although messy) until cheese, crumbs and cornmeal are evenly distributed among the ground meat. Shape into a loaf. You can use a traditional loaf pan or simply cook on top of a cookie sheet or pizza pan. Bake at 375F for 35-40 minutes. Check for doneness. Let sit 5-10 minutes before carving.
