"It's a Wonderful Loaf"
1/2C ketchup
2T brown sugar
1t dry mustard powder
1lb ground chicken or turkey
1lb extra-lean ground beef
1 1/3C Italian-style dry bread crumbs
1/2C peeled, grated sweet potato or carrots (I use and entire sweet potato grated)
1/2C unpeeled, grated zucchini (I use one whole zucchini grated)
1/2C minced onions
1/4C chopped fresh parsley
1/3C milk (1% or 2%)
2-3 egg whites
1t dried thyme
1/2t each dried sage and salt
1/4t black pepper
*combine first 3 ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
*Using your hands, combine all remaining ingredients in a large bowl.
Mix well. Pat mixture into 2 meatloaf pans (or 2 9 x 5 loaf pans) (I
bought meatloaf pans at Walmart - they drain the fat through the bottom)
Spread ketchup mixture evenly over loaves.
*Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 10 minutes, until
meat is browned and juices run clear (this is a light colored loaf - it
may not look thoroughly cooked)
*Pour off liquid in bottom of pan (or just separate your awesome
meatloaf pan!) and remove loaf. Slice each loaf into 8 pieces. Serve
immediately.
