Turkey Meatloaf

1 large onion, chopped fine
2 cloves garlic, chopped fine
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/4 cup bread crumbs, plain or italian
3/4 lb cremini mushrooms, chopped fine (I do mine in the food processor)
3 lbs ground turkey (lean or xlean)
2 Tbsp tomato paste
1/3 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 cup ketchup

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

In a medium saute pan, over med-low heat, cook the onions & garlic in olive oil until translucent, but not browned, approx 5 minutes. Add chopped mushrooms & cook until all the liquid the mushrooms give off is evaporated, approx 10 minutes, season with salt & pepper. 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, parsley, and onion mixture in a large bowl. Mix well and shape into a rectangular loaf on an ungreased sheet pan. (I line the pan with a sheet of parchment paper first.) Spread the ketchup evenly on top. Bake for 1 - 1 1/4 hours or until the internal temp is 160 degrees and meatloaf is cooked through.

Serve hot, at room temperature, or cold on a sandwich.
