One Mean Ground Turkey Meatloaf
Hi, I have never liked meatloaf. Growing up my dad and sister were the meatloaf lovers and I hated it tasted tooo much like raw onion. But as I've grown up I've learned a few tricks to make it not so onion-y. Here's my recipe hope you enjoy.
1 pound ground turkey meat
1 Medium Onion Chopped
1 cups of Panco bread crumbs
2 Tbs of Worcestershire
1 Tbs of ground ginger
1 Tbs of lemon juice
A dash of garlic powder, onion salt, and celery salt
2 Eggs
1/2 a cup of ketchup
First off you want to saute your onions in a little cooking spray until tinder and some get a little brown caramelized look to them. Put those aside to cool and start mixing the meat and other ingredients in a large bowl. St with the meat and seasonings mixing well, add your liquids and then the onions (If Cool) you don't want to add hot onions it would start cooking the meat. Then you'll add your eggs mix those very well before you add the panco. If the mixture still looks sticky and wet add more panco.
Ok I put my mixture in a glass pie dish but you ca put it in a bread loaf pan and if you line it with foil it can me removed easier. SO spray pan of your choice with cooking spray and spread your mixture evenly. Top with your ketchup and spread that evenly on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 mins. You'll smell it when its done.
Thanks and enjoy.!

Easy Chessy Broccoli and Tuna Pasta
Hi, I made this little fast dish on a whim one night because i didn't want to slave in the kitchen for an hour. It only takes 10 minutes to prepare. And it's really good.
2-Packages of Lipton Cheddar Broccoli Pasta Sides
1-Can of Tuna in water
1/2-Bag of frozen cut Broccoli
3-Slices of American Sandwich Cheese
1-cup of Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
Put the Lipton Pasta Sides in a large pot and just double the water and milk on the package. Add your can of tuna don't drain the water, but flake the tuna first. And add your broccoli and all the cheese to the pot, Stir all contents until the cheese is melted and bring to a boil as directed on the pasta package. Make sure you stir frequently so nothing sticks to your pot. When the 10 minutes of boiling is up sit the pot on a dish towel on your counter for about 5 minutes and let it thicken. I serve this with honey wheat rolls by King's Hawaiian.
Cost of this meal:
Lipton Pasta Sides are $1 at Walmart
I use Walmart brand tuna its .62 cents
I got my broccoli at Walmart for $1.50
I use Walmart brand sandwich cheese it $2.12 for 24 slices I used 3 so that's $0.09 cents a slice
And I buy Walmart brand Shredded Cheddar Cheese for $1.96
And the total is: $4.02 ...and this will feed 4 people very well.
That's $1.00 per person way more healthy then that hamburger from McDonald's.
A good way the hide veggies from kids it to cover it in cheese. Hope you enjoyed this recipe.
