Cranberry Balsamic Turkey Meatloaf Recipes

TURKEY MEATLOAF WITH CRANBERRY GLAZE, MIXED BEANS ALMONDINE, AND POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. For the glaze, spread the brown sugar over the bottom of a greased loaf pan and spread the cranberry sauce over the sugar. In a large bowl mix all the remaining ingredients until well incorporated. Form the meat mixture into the loaf pan, laying out over the cranberry glaze. Bake in 350 degree oven for 1 hour, (be sure to assemble and cook the potato gratin along with the meatloaf, as they have the same cooking times). Turn out the loaf and set aside.
• Blanch beans in boiling, salted water for 1 minute and then shock in an ice water bath. When ready for dinner, toss the beans with walnut oil, salt and pepper and slivered almonds and place on a baking sheet and place in the oven with the meatloaf for the last 10 minutes before the meatloaf comes out.;
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season potatoes with salt and pepper and layer in buttered 2 inch deep baking pan. Bring the rest of the ingredients to a boil and pour over the potatoes while hot, until potatoes are almost covered. Bake at 400 degrees until tender, about one hour.
• To assemble the dish, slice the meatloaf into 1 1/2-inch thick slices, and plate with a nice square of the potato gratin, and the beans along side. Serve everything warm.

CRANBERRY BALSAMIC TURKEY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• 1. At least one hour before assembling the meatloaf, prepare the cranberry/balsamic topping.
• 2. In a non-reactive saucepan with cover, over medium low heat, simmer the cranberries, sugar and balsamic vinegar until the cranberries have burst and the mixture thickens, about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally and do not allow the mixture to boil dry or scorch. Set aside to cool.
• 3. In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the celery and hing and saute until somewhat softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• 4. In a large mixing bowl, stir together eggs, ricotta, salt and pepper. Add the ground pork, panko bread crumbs and celery mixture and quickly and gently fold or mix with hands until all ingredients are mixed. Do not over mix or the mixture will become too dense.
• 5. Spoon the meatloaf mixture into a glass baking pan small enough to keep the mixture at least two inches thick. Spread the cranberry mixture on top.
• 6. Bake one hour or until the internal temperature reaches 165F to 175F. Allow to sit 15 minutes before serving.
