TURKISH BULGUR PILAF RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the bulgur in a bowl and rinse a few times. Set it aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion until translucent and then add the minced garlic. Cook for a minute.
• Add in the diced green pepper and cook for a few minutes until it softens.
• Add in the chopped tomatoes and stir well. Cook until they start releasing their juice.
• Add the tomato paste and stir well so it combines with the other ingredients.
• Add the salt and pepper and add in the rinsed bulgur. Stir well.
• Turn the heat to medium high and add in the water. Once it comes to a simmer, lower the heat to medium, cover with a lid and cook for about 20-25 minutes until the water is almost completely evaporated.
• Wrap the lid in a clean kitchen towel and place it on the pot. Turn the heat to medium low and cook for another 10 minutes.
• Turn the heat off the let the bulgur sit for 5 minutes untouched, then fluff it with a fork and serve.

BULGUR MEATLOAF WITH PRUNES AND GOUDA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the meatloaf mix, bulgur, Gouda, prunes, chives, parsley, Worcestershire, eggs, onion, garlic, 1/4 cup of the ketchup, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Using your hands, mix together until well combined.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and form it into a compact oval-shaped loaf, about 9 inches by 5 inches. Bake for 30 minutes.
• Stir together the apricot preserves, soy sauce, ginger, vinegar and remaining 1/4 cup ketchup in a small bowl for the glaze. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and brush the top and sides all over with the glaze. Return to the oven and bake until the glaze starts to caramelize and a thermometer inserted in the center of the meatloaf registers 160 degrees F, about 25 minutes more. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

TURKEY & BULGUR LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• Boil the bulgur gently in the water in a covered saucepan for 20 to 25 minutes, until fluffy-tender.
• Cook for 15 minutes, then mix with remaining ingredients, using your hands.
• Pack into a well-greased 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan and bake uncovered for 1 1/2 hours or until the loaf is nicely browned and pulls slightly from the sides of the pan. Cool the loaf upright in its pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes, then turn out and serve.
• You can wait less than 30 minutes for it to cook, but it has a tendency to fall apart.
• Still tastes good though!

TURKEY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a medium saute pan, over medium-low heat, cook the onions, olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme until translucent, but not browned, approximately 15 minutes. Add the Worcestershire sauce, chicken stock, and tomato paste and mix well. Allow to cool to room temperature.
• Combine the ground turkey, bread crumbs, eggs, and onion mixture in a large bowl. Mix well and shape into a rectangular loaf on an ungreased sheet pan. Spread the ketchup evenly on top. Bake for 1 1/2 hours until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F. and the meatloaf is cooked through. (A pan of hot water in the oven under the meatloaf will keep the top from cracking.) Serve hot, at room temperature, or cold in a sandwich.

MINI TURKEY MEATLOAVES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously coat 18 standard muffin cups (from two 12-cup muffin pans) with cooking spray.
• Put the oats in a small bowl and slowly pour the milk over them. Stir to make sure the oats are all coated and then let them sit for a few minutes.
• Put the turkey and bacon in a separate large bowl and add the oats and any extra milk from the bowl to it. Add the parsley, seasoned salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes and 1/4 cup of the ketchup. Use your hands to mix it all together. Place a 1/4-cup scoop of the mixture in each greased muffin cup. Squirt about 1/2 teaspoon of the remaining ketchup on top of each meatloaf. Use a spoon to smear the ketchup evenly over the top, then use it to nudge the edges of the meatloaves away from the pan a bit (this just neatens them up a little).
• Bake for 25 minutes, then carefully squirt another 1/2 teaspoon of ketchup on top of each, spreading it carefully with a spoon to cover as much of the surface as possible. Continue to bake until completely cooked through and sizzling around the edges, about another 30 minutes. If there are any large areas without ketchup, go ahead and squirt/spread more as needed.
• Sprinkle the meatloaves with parsley, then let them sit in the pan for 5 to 7 minutes before serving. Run a sharp knife around the edges of the loaves to loosen them if they stick. Serve them warm with a veggie on the side
