Ingredients

Turkey Meatloaf

1 lb ground turkey
½ cup ground pecans or ground almonds, or breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1 teaspoon neutral oil
½ cup diced carrot
½ cup diced onion
½ cup diced celery
2 cloves garlic minced
1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Mushroom and Onion Gravy

1 teaspoon oil
1 cup diced onion
½ cup diced mushroom
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (gluten free if needed)
1 bay leaf
2 cups chicken stock
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Turkey Meatloaf

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, mix the ground turkey, ground pecans and egg. Set aside.
In a non stick frying pan over medium heat, add the oil.
Add the onion, celery and carrot and cook for about 10 minutes or so, or until soft. Add the garlic and cook for one minute more, then remove pan from heat and set aside to cool.
Once cool, add vegetables to the turkey bowl and mix together. Add the spice mix and salt and pepper and mix well.
Transfer to 9x5 loaf pan and cook for 1 hour, or until done.

Mushroom and Onion Gravy

Add the oil to a non stick pan over medium heat.
Add the onions, spread them out on the bottom of the pan and cook, for 7-8 minutes, or until the edges have turned very brown.
Stir and add the mushrooms. Let cook for 6-7 minutes, or until mushrooms and onions are very brown. Add the butter. Once melted, add the flour and whisk it, cooking for about a minute or so to get rid of raw flour taste.
Add the first cup of stock, slowly, while whisking, so the flour doesn't clump. Add the second cup and mix. Add the bay leaf and Worcestershire sauce. Stir and let cook over medium for about 8-10 minutes or until it starts to thicken.
Turn down to medium low and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Taste for seasoning. I always add pepper (about 1/4 teaspoon) and only sometimes add salt, depending on what stock I'm using. Serve over the Turkey Meatloaf.
