Number of Servings: 32

Ingredients

    About 2 kg ground turkey
    About 1 kg ground Italian sausage
    4 cups mozzarella cheese
    8 cups Italian bread crumbs
    4 eggs
    4 cups tomato pasta sauce
    1/2 cup pesto sauce
    4 cloves garlic, minced
    2 tbsp Italian seasoning
    3 tbsp dried onion flakes

Tips

Freeze most of the loaves individually once they have cooled to have a meal ready to heat up on a no-cooking day.

The servings are large - it's easily enough for lunch to have half a serving - 1/8 of a loaf - and be satisfied.


Directions

In a large bowl, mix together ground meat, cheese, and bread crumbs, removing sausage from casings.
In a second bowl, beat eggs. Add tomato sauce, pesto, garlic, seasoning, and onion flakes and stir.
Pour tomato sauce mixture into meat mixture and combine until consistent.
Place in large pans and bake at 350F for 60-75 minutes or until 170F in the middle. Divide into 8 loaves.

Serving Size: Makes 8 loaves, each divided into four equal servings.
