TURKEY AND VEGETABLE LOAF

This impressive-looking turkey meatloaf is flavored with herbs and a layer of juicy tomatoes and zucchini. As well as the presentation, the baking method caught my attention. It's baked in a water bath to retain the moisture of the ground turkey. The recipe calls for all fresh herbs but dried could certainly be substitute at a ratio of 1 tablespoon fresh = 1 teaspoon dried.
