Hardly Old-Fashioned Meatloaf

Ingredients:

2 cups cubed (1-inch) bread, or bread crumbs

4 Tbs. olive oil

1 Tbs. plus 2 Tbs. ground cumin

1 Tbs. plus 1 tsp. ground nutmeg

1 onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped

1/2 cup green bell pepper, finely chopped

1/2 cup scallions (white and green parts), finely chopped

1 Tbs. garlic, finely minced

1 lb. ground beef chuck

1 lb. ground turkey

2 large eggs

1/3 cup heavy cream (or whipping cream)

3/4 cup salsa (optional)

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Toss bread cubes with two

tablespoons of oil and one tablespoon each of cumin and nutmeg in a

large bowl. Place the cubes on a baking sheet and bake, turning them

once, until toasted, about 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature.

Place the cubes in a food processor, reserving the bowl they cooled

in, and process to form medium-fine crumbs. Transfer cubes to bowl

and let sit for 30 minutes.

Heat the remaining two tablespoons of oil in a non-stick skillet over

low heat. Add onion, both bell peppers and scallions. Cook for about

eight minutes, stirring until almost wilted. Add garlic and cook for

five minutes. Place the vegetables in the bowl that the bread cubes

were tossed in, and let cool to room temperature. Add ground beef and

turkey and blend with vegetables.

Lightly beat the eggs in a small bowl. Add cream, salsa (optional),

the remaining two teaspoons cumin, one teaspoon nutmeg, salt and

pepper. Add this mixture to the meat and vegetables and blend

together lightly with your hands. Add enough of the seasoned bread

crumbs to bind everything together.

Form the mixture into an oval loaf and place it in a baking dish to

fit. Bake until cooked through, 35 to 40 minutes. Do not overcook.

Remove from oven and use a small spoon to carefully remove any foam

that forms around the bottom of the loaf. Let meatloaf rest for at

least ten minutes before slicing it. Serve hot or at room

temperature.

Roasted Turkey Breast Stuffed with Herbs

1 4 to 5 lb boneless turkey breast — with skin
OR 2 1/2 lb boneless turkey breast for 3 1/2 qt cooker
1/2 cup Italian parsley — chopped
1 tbs fresh thyme leaves OR 1 tsp dried, crumbled
1 tbs grated lemon rind
2 tart apples — peeled, cored, chopped (2 cups)
4 medium leeks (white part & 1-inch pale green),
rinsed, sliced thinly (4 cups)
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tbs butter — room temperature
2 tbs all-purpose flour

Rinse turkey breast and pat dry. Lightly pound breast
and, with your fingers, separate skin from breast meat.
Combine parsley, thyme, and lemon rind. Rub turkey inside
and under the skin with the herb mixture; replace skin
and tie in place with kitchen twine.

Arrange apples and leeks in bottom of 5-quart or larger
slow cooker (for a smaller slow cooker, use a 2 to 2 1/2
pound turkey breast). Top with turkey breast, skin side
up. Drizzle lemon juice over turkey breast. Cover and
cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 3 1/2 to 4
hours, until tender.

Transfer breast to a serving platter and keep warm.
(Brown for 5 minutes under a preheated broiler for
browned skin.) Let turkey breast stand for 10 minutes
before carving.

Turn setting to high. Whisk broth and wine into the
juices in the slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the
butter and flour. Whisk into the slow cooker and cook,
uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened and
bubbly, about 15 minutes. Cook and stir for another
minute. Pour sauce into a serving dish and spoon over
breast slices. Serves 8.
