TURKEY MEATLOAF WITH CREAMY HORSERADISH SAUCE



Turkey Meatloaf with Creamy Horseradish Sauce image

This recipe is from the Flying Biscuit Cafe in Atlanta and it is the most ordered item on their menu. Don't be intimidated by the number of ingredients, it is real easy to make and I promise you that the aroma while this is cooking is unbelievable. It makes 2 meatloaves so you can eat one now and freeze the other one for later and also you can freeze any leftover horseradish sauce. I must warn you - people will eat more than one helping and they will fight over the leftovers! I alway serve this with mashed potatoes and a nice green vegetable and a salad. Rolls are nice to have with it also to sop up the sauce.

Yield Makes 14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Onion base for gravy
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
4 large onions, thinly sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1 1/2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
Turkey
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter, room temperature
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 21- to 22-pound turkey; neck, heart, and gizzard reserved
1 large onion, quartered
4 1/2 cups (about) low-salt chicken broth
2 large fresh rosemary sprigs
2 large fresh thyme sprigs
1 bay leaf
3 tablespoons all purpose flour

Steps:

  • For gravy base:
  • Melt butter in large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until deep brown, about 40 minutes. Mix in rosemary and thyme, then flour; stir 1 minute. Add vinegar and honey; simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.)
  • For turkey:
  • Mix butter and herbs in small bowl. Rinse turkey inside and out; pat dry. Place on rack set in large roasting pan. Sprinkle inside and out with salt and pepper. Starting at neck end, slide hand between skin and breast meat to loosen skin. Spread 1/4 cup herb butter over breast meat under skin. Rub remaining butter over outside of turkey. Place turkey parts and onion quarters in pan around turkey. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
  • Set rack at lowest position in oven and preheat to 350°F. If stuffing turkey, spoon stuffing loosely into main cavity and neck cavity. Tuck wing tips under; tie legs together loosely to hold shape. Roast turkey uncovered 1 hour. Tent turkey breast and tops of drumsticks loosely with foil; roast 1 hour longer. Add 1 cup broth, herb sprigs, and bay leaf to drippings in pan. Continue to roast until thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 175°F, basting with 3/4 cup broth and pan juices every 30 minutes, about 2 hours 30 minutes longer for unstuffed and 3 hours longer for stuffed. Transfer turkey to platter; let stand 30 minutes (internal temperature will increase 5 to 10 degrees).
  • Strain pan juices into 8-cup measuring cup; spoon fat off top. Heat gravy base over medium heat. Whisk in flour, then pan juices. Boil until gravy is reduced to 7 cups, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve turkey with gravy.

MEATLOAF WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS



Meatloaf With Caramelized Onions image

I couldn't find a recipe on this site (or elsewhere) for basic meatloaf with caramelized onions in the mix-not meatloaf with a topping of caramelized onions or "stuffed". Because I wanted the caramelized onions to take center stage, for that reason, you won't find any tomato sauce, mushrooms, no cheese, no strips of bacon on top, etc. in this recipe. The recipe was found on lifeisaplate.com and modified to my specifications. You can substitute other types of ground meat or use other meat in combination: turkey, chicken, buffalo, turkey, etc. Use any preferable binder of your choice, for example-finely ground breadcrumbs, almond or walnut meal, masa harina, rice flour. Brown rice was the binder I chose and it was ground to medium-coarse consistency (similar to cornmeal). The recipe was cut in half because I like meatloaf on the small size and save the larger size when I am need of a doorstop.

Categories     Meatloaf

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 1/2 large yellow sweet onions, cut into 1-inch dice (Vidalia, Maui, Hermiston, etc.)
1 -2 tablespoon sugar
1 lb ground grass fed beef (read recipe intro^^)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 tablespoons stone ground mustard (standard yellow mustard or Dijon will work)
1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (soy sauce, Braggs will work, too)
1 garlic clove, minced (I used a small clove of garlic because the Worcestershire sauce I like is roasted garlic flavored.)
1/2 cup brown rice meal (read recipe ^intro)
dried parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large pan on medium-low heat. Add the onions and sugar; cook until brown and sweet-approximately 20-30 minutes. Lower the heat if the onions are browning too quickly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the meatloaf ingredients with the caramelized onions (including all those browned bits at the bottom of the pan!); Do not overmix.
  • Transfer the meatloaf mixture to an oiled or parchment-lined loaf pan. (I used a large soup spoon, patting the mixture down and into the corners of the pan. Use the back of the spoon to smooth the top of the loaf.) If desired, lightly sprinkle the top of the loaf with dried parsley.
  • Bake at 375 for 45-60 minutes or until the meatloaf is not longer pink in the center.
  • Servings are estimated. Cooking time includes caramelizing the onions.
