Steps:
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add oil, 2 turns of the pan. Add chopped mushrooms and shallots and season with salt and pepper. Saute mushrooms 5 or 6 minutes until dark and tender. Remove from heat. Transfer mushrooms to a bowl and return pan to stove top to preheat to cook patties.
- Add turkey to the mushroom mixture. Make a well in the center of the meat. Add sage, Worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs and beaten egg and season with salt and pepper. Mix turkey meat loaf and make a small 1-inch patty. Place meat in the hot pan and cook 1 minute on each side. Taste the mini patty to help you adjust seasonings. Divide meat loaf mixture into 4 equal parts by scoring the meat before you form patties. Form 4 equal oval patties 1 inch thick. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan, and arrange patties in the skillet. Cook 6 minutes on each side and transfer to a serving plate or individual dinner plates. Return pan to heat and add butter. When butter melts, whisk in flour and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in stock and season gravy with poultry seasoning, salt and pepper, to taste. Simmer gravy until it reaches desired thickness, and pour over patties, reserving a little to pass at the table.

Steps:
- Place meat in a large mixing bowl and create a well in the center of the meat. Fill the well with the bread cubes and dampen them with a splash of milk. Pour 1 beaten egg over bread and add seasoning or salt and pepper, allspice, tomato paste and onion to the bowl.
- Combine the meat, bread and grill seasoning or salt and pepper and form mixture into 4 large oval patties 3/4-inch thick. Pan fry meatloaf patties in a nonstick skillet over medium high heat 7 minutes on each side under a loose tin foil tent. The tent will reflect heat and allow the steam to escape the pan.
- Cover the quartered, red-skinned potatoes in water in a medium saucepan. Bring water to a boil and cook potatoes 10 minutes or until fork tender. Turn heat under pan off; drain potatoes and return to hot pan and warm stovetop to dry potatoes out. Add butter, sour cream, scallions, and milk to potatoes and smash to your desired consistency. Season potatoes with salt, to taste.
- Remove meat loaf patties to a platter and return pan to heat. Reduce heat to medium and add butter and onion to your skillet. Cook the onion 2 minutes and sprinkle pan with flour. Cook flour 1 minute and whisk in 1 cup beef stock. Bring broth to a bubble. If gravy is too thick, thin with additional stock. Stir in condiments and remove gravy from heat.
- Slice meatloaf patties and drizzle with gravy. Pile smashed potatoes along side and make a well in the center for sour cream or gravy. Serve meatloaf and smashed potatoes with baby carrots, or with a tossed salad dressed with oil and vinegar.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Line the glass loaf pan with the bacon, centering the strips lengthwise in the pan, letting the ends hang over the short edge.
- Lightly beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add the ketchup and sour cream and mix. Add the breadcrumbs, onions and garlic, stirring to incorporate, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix in the sausage, breaking it up to season the egg mixture evenly. Mix in the ground beef, using your hands to mix gently but thoroughly. Press the meatloaf mixture firmly into the loaf pan with the bacon, shaping the meat into a loaf shape. Unmold the meatloaf by turning the pan upside-down, and tapping the bottom to release the meatloaf. Tuck the bacon under the loaf, and place it bacon-side up on a foiled or parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until the meat registers 160 degrees F, 50 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with Mustard and Sour Cream Gravy.
- In a saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat, add the onions and saute until the onions are soft, about 6 minutes. Sprinkle the flour on top of the onions and cook for 1 minute, stirring. Turn up the heat to medium-high and whisk in the stock and 1/2 cup water. Cook at a simmer, whisking frequently, until the gravy begins to thicken. Turn off the heat and whisk in the sour cream, and then the mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Taste before adding salt and pepper. Serve on the meatloaf.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, add the meat, 1 small onion, grated on box grater or with handheld flat grater, directly over mixing bowl. Add 2 cloves finely chopped garlic, panko, about 2 tablespoons of the extra-virgin olive oil, the egg, the zest and juice of 1 lemon. Mix to combine. Add the olives, spices, a handful of parsley and a handful of mint. Combine well. Form the mixture into 4 individual rolls and bake on a parchment lined sheet pan until golden brown, about 35 to 40 minutes. The meat loaves may be made ahead and stored; reheat in pan gravy.
- Heat a medium shallow pot over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons butter and melt, then add the remaining garlic, and combine. Stir in the zucchini, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and cook for 5 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups stock to the pan and bring the mixture to a bubble. Add 1 1/2 cups of couscous and remaining handful of chopped mint. Turn off the heat and cover pan. Let stand for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons butter to a medium skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Whisk the flour into melted butter, then add the Worcestershire sauce and remaining 1 cup of chicken stock, the remaining lemon zest and juice, 1/4 cup honey, and salt and pepper, to taste. Slide the meat loaves into the sauce. (If the meat loaves are cold, tent with foil and gently reheat in low simmering sauce.) Once the meat loaves are warm, transfer them to a serving plate and raise the heat to high. As soon as the sauce becomes syrupy after 1 to 2 minutes, drizzle it over meat and serve with couscous alongside.
MEATLOAF MEATBALLS WITH HORSERADISH MASH AND GRAVY

Categories main-dish
Time 2h5m
Yield Serves 6 to 8
Number Of Ingredients 29
Steps:
- For the meatballs: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat a saute pan over medium to medium-high heat; melt the butter. Add the onion, celery and garlic; season with salt, pepper and thyme. Cook to tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Deglaze with the sherry or wine; cool.
- Soak the bread in milk while the veggies cool.
- Place the meat in mixing bowl; season with salt and pepper. Squeeze the liquid out of the bread and crumble into the bowl. Add the cooked vegetables, parsley, Worcestershire, mustard and eggs; combine to mix but do not overwork.
- Place parchment paper on a baking sheet and roll the meat into 24 balls. Spray with cooking spray and roast about 15 to 18 minutes until lightly crispy and golden and cooked through. Cool and store for a make-ahead meal. Reheat, covered, in a preheated 375-degree F oven with a splash of water or they will stick in the bottom of the dish. Once meatballs are hot, uncover and crisp up for 5 minutes.
- For the mash: Fill a pot halfway with cold water. Peel and add the potatoes as they are chopped or, if you peeled up the potatoes ahead, place in a pot and fill with fresh water. Add enough water to cover the potatoes, then cover the pot and place over high heat to bring to a boil. Once the water boils, remove the lid, salt the water and cook, uncovered, at a low boil until tender to fork. Drain and return to hot pot. Mash the potatoes with the sour cream and cream, a liberal dose of pepper, horseradish and chives; salt to your taste. If you wish to make the potatoes ahead of time and hold them for a couple of hours, place an inch of water in a large pot and bring to boil, then reduce heat to low and place a smaller pot, filled with the potatoes, into simmering water and cover that pot.
- For the gravy: Melt the butter in saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour and bring to a bubble; whisk in the stock and Worcestershire, season with pepper and thicken. Temper the egg yolk by lightly beating a ladle of gravy into it, then whisk into the sauce. Cool and store; reheat over medium heat, adding a little more stock, if necessary, to loosen.
- Serve in shallow bowls. Spoon in enough potatoes to gently mound up in a bowl, then arrange a few meatballs in the center of the mound. Ladle gravy down over top and garnish with parsley.

MEATLOAF WITH GRAVY AND VEGETABLES
My husband loves this meatloaf recipe. To be honest I'm not sure if my mother made this up or how it came about. He gets tired of the regular meatloaf so from time to time this is his request. Actually it is more requested than the regular recipe with tomato ketchup or paste on top. Hope you like it!

Steps:
- 1. Combine ground beef, onion, crushed saltines, egg, flour, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Transfer to a baking dish that has been greased and shape in to a meatloaf. Bake on 350 degrees until you don't see any pink juices running out.
- 2. Cut up potatoes and Carrots and place them around the meatloaf. I let them cook until they are just about done. Take a heaping tables spoon full of flour and spoon around the carrots and potatoes after they have cooked a while. Pour the can of mushroom soup over the top with a can of water and mix around. Salt and pepper and then place back into the oven and let bake covered until gravy is made and vegetables are done. This takes a while to make but it is well worth it. Serve over hot rice. This makes a meal in one.
- 3. Just a note I always bake this with foil over it from beginning to end. I just keep checking it.
Tips:
- Use a combination of ground beef and pork for a moist and flavorful meatloaf.
- Soak the bread crumbs in milk before adding them to the meat mixture. This will help to bind the ingredients together and prevent the meatloaf from becoming dry.
- Season the meatloaf generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meatloaf.
- Form the meatloaf into a loaf shape and place it in a baking dish. Bake the meatloaf in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour, or until it is cooked through.
- While the meatloaf is baking, make the gravy. In a saucepan, combine the tomato sauce, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes, or until it has thickened.
- Once the meatloaf is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the meatloaf with the gravy and your favorite sides.
