Beyond Eggs, Turkey Meatloaf

So eggs don't always half to be the star of the show. Sometimes, they are the glue that holds the main star together. Like my turkey meatloaf. Not my favorite, but it made Price happy. He requested meatloaf for his birthday. It actually turned out really good, considering I had never made meatloaf before. I served it with Mashed Apple Sweet Potatoes, the recipe for that is also below.

Turkey Meatloaf (serves 2)
Ingredients:
1/2 lb ground turkey
1 tbsp dried onion or 1/2 c. chopped fresh onion
1/4 c. dried mixed vegetables
1 egg
1/4 c. milk
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 8 oz can plain tomato sauce

Directions:
Mix all ingredients but tomato sauce together. Add a little of the tomato sauce (about 2 oz) to the mixture. Put mixture on a cookie sheet and pat into a rounded "loaf". Pour the remaining tomato sauce onto the meatloaf. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes, until cooked through.

Mashed Apple Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients:
1 small apple, peeled, cored, and quartered
3 small or 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 c. milk
1 tbsp melted butter.

Directions:
In a pot, boil the apple and sweet potatoes until soft. Drain. Mash with a potato masher. Add remaining ingredients, then stir.

Enjoy!
