Mrs Cellar2ful got into the act tonight. All her creation, I just manned the kettle. Apple wood smoked turkey meat loafs, scalloped potatoes in the griswold cast iron skillet and roasted white corn.
RECIPE (Mrs Cellar2ful turkey meatloafs)
-ground turkey (1 lb makes four servings)
-red or yellow bell pepper
-mushrooms
-onion
-parsely
-bread crumbs (We keep a couple bags of turkey stuffing mix for use in making meatballs. Have to buy them at Thanksgiving as you can't find them any other time of year.)
- 2 eggs
-worcheshire sauce
Chop the bell pepper, onion, mushroom and parsley into fine equal size pieces. One thing I learned from a knife skills class is that uniform chopped ingredients cook evenly.
In a mixing bowl, mix the ground turkey, chopped ingredients, bread crumbs (used as a binder), eggs and a dash of worcheshire sauce. If you like them spicy, add sriracha sauce or add some chopped jalapeno. Once mixed make into 4 equal size loafs. It can be made into one large loaf but I find small individual loafs produce more external crust and absorb more of the smoke flavor.
I place them directly on the cooking grate and cook indirect with a few small chunks of apple wood. Both lid and bowl vents wide open. Very easy to overcook turkey so check the internal temperature after 20 minutes. I pull them when the internal temp reaches 158-160.
