turkey meatloaf w/ Feta and Sundried Tomatoes

I've never really liked meatloaf. I don't even like to SAY meatloaf. But this redeems my past experiences with the filmy ketchup-covered lump. Very yummy. Even my 3 1/2 year old nephew ate more than my sister on this one. Kept asking for more....


1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/3 cup chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
1/4 cup chopped garlic and herb marinated sundried tomatoes
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 eggs, lightly beaten, room temperature
2 TBL whole milk
1/2 cup crumbled feta
1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1 lb. ground turkey, dark meat preferred
_____
preheat oven to 375
spray 9x5 loaf pan
mix all ingredients but turkey,
gently mix in turkey
carefully pack mixture into loaf pan and back
until internal temp is 165 F on an instant read thermometer.
(about 45 minutes)
remove, let sit for 5 minutes. transfer to cutting block
slice and serve.

We used oregano because we didn't have parsley
We also packed the mixture into a muffin tin instead of a loaf pan
(by the way, I much prefer saying "meat muffins" to "meat loaf"
I don't know why.)

Serves 4-6 people. Very tasty.
