Jackie’s Turkey Meatloaf, Jackie, Riverside

2 slices fresh or stale bread of choice

½ c milk

1 med onion, chopped

1 small bunch parsley or substitute 1 pkg chopped spinach, thawed and well-drained

2 lbs ground turkey

2 large eggs, slightly beaten

1-2 t mild Hungarian paprika

½ t black pepper

Soak 2 pieces of bread in milk for 5-10 minutes. Chop onion and parsley. Combine ground turkey, bread, drained and torn into pieces, onion, parsley or spinach, eggs, Hungarian paprika and black pepper. Mix well by hand (or use a Kitchenaid mixer) until mixture is well blended.  Shape into a rounded 12”x4” loaf that is about 3” high on a parchment paper covered  rimmed baking sheet.  Smooth top and bake at 350° F for 20-30 minutes and then increase temperature to 450° F and bake another 10 minutes until juices run clear and internal temperature is 165ºF.  Baking time varies on how thick the meatloaf is.
