Turkey Meatloaf With Smoked Gouda And Mushrooms Recipe

directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large skillet, heat half the oil over medium-high. Add half of the mushrooms - cook, stirring once or twice, until they are deep golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl with slotted spoon. Repeat process with remaining mushrooms, transferring them to the same bowl when done. Season mushrooms with salt and pepper.

Place skillet back over the heat and reduce to medium. Add remaining oil - stir in leeks and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the leeks have softened, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then scoop into the bowl with the mushrooms. Set aside and allow to cool.

Stir Gouda, bread, egg and sage into the mixing bowl and toss well to combine. Add turkey and season once more with salt and fresh ground black pepper, mixing just until combined.

Scoop turkey mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper; shape meat mixture into a 10 inch loaf. Place into the oven and bake until completely cooked through, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest 10 minutes before serving.

Fantastic! The flavor was absolutely divine (and even the meatloaf nay-sayer loved it). The cheese did ooze out a little when it was cooking, but overall it was still part of the finished product. We'd try baking it in a loaf pan next time to encourage less cheese-ooze.
