Introduction

I got this 5-star recipe off the Food Network website, but had to tweak it a bit, as I didn't have bell peppers... I also omitted the olive oil and used brown rice vs breadcrumbs.

Ingredients

    1 large onion, diced
    2 tsp garlic
    2 eggs
    3/4 cup minute rice
    1/4 cup parmesan cheese
    1 TBS Worcestechire Sauce
    1 TBS vinager
    2 Tsp basil
    1 Tsp parsley
    1 tsp Italian Seasoning
    1 tsp Oregano
    1/2 tsp pepper
    1 tsp salt (or to taste)
    1 cup stewed/chopped tomatoes, drained
    8 ounces (1/2 pound) ground turkey**
    8 ounces (") Ground beef (lean)**


    (You can use either one pound of turkey, or beef. I buy 1 pound packages of each, double the ingredients of this recipe and make 2 loaves. I like the taste of beef/turkey better than plain turkey...)

    Also, if you use FRESH herbs, it tastes SOO much better. I also added fresh rosemary to mine, and it was out of this world good. :)

Directions

Heat oven to 350.
Mix together all of the wet ingredients. Add the seasonings and rice.
Blend in the meat, well. Put into a loaf dish, and bake at 350 for 45-hour, or until the middle of the loaf temperature is 160.
