Turkey Loaf

I ended up in hospital a couple of weeks ago with a kidney infection, thus the lack of posts. I am feeling a lot better now so I thought I would share my recipe for home made turkey loaf.

I've been fiddling about with this recipe for a while now and am finally happy with it. It is great hot, out of the oven (lovely and moist) or next day chilled (still moist!). Great for an Autumn meal - substantial but not too rich and it's quite economical too as it seems to go a long way. It's great to slice and take with you for a picnic or for a quick SCD friendly snack. I hope you like it!


The quantities below will make 1 2lb loaf. I usually make more than one at a time because they freeze well.

Ingredients;

1. 650g minced turkey (I mince my own so I know exactly what's in it)
2. 2 small onions, chopped
3. 2 cloves garlic, minced
4. 1 large cooking apple, peeled and grated
5. 25g fresh sage, stalks removed and finely chopped
6. 80g ground walnuts
7. 1 large egg, beaten
8. 1 teaspoon mustard powder
9. 1 teaspoon salt
10. Pepper to taste

Method;

1. Fry the onion and garlic until nearly cooked
2. Add the sage to the onion and garlic and until the sage is wilted and the onions translucent
3. Put the minced turkey in a large bowl and add the cooked onions, garlic and sage
4. Add all the other ingredients to the bowl and mix well
5. Line a 2lb loaf tin with greaseproof paper, put the mixture in the tin and pack down well with the back of a wooden spoon
6. Put in a preheated oven at 180 degrees and cook for an hour and a quarter to an hour an a half
