Dave and Ann Marie came over tonight and brought all the fixings for dinner, which was so appreciated and OMG, so delicious!
There was quite a bit of discussion about serving this to my brother-in-law, Jason, without telling him the ingredients, because it's THAT good.
I hate mushrooms, they squick me out something fierce, but OMG, in this meatloaf, they are divine! They give the turkey loaf a meaty moisture and a beefy flavor that is often lacking in turkey loaf recipes.
We had it with a mixed green salad and mashed potatoes; but I can't wait to make sandwiches with the leftovers tomorrow!
So without further adieu, the OMG Meatloaf

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 medium carrot, cut into 1/8-inch dice
3/4 pound cremini mushrooms, trimmed and very finely chopped in a food processor
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon ketchup
1 cup fine fresh bread crumbs (from 2 slices firm white sandwich bread)
1/3 cup 1% milk
1 whole large egg, lightly beaten
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
1 1/4 pound ground turkey (mix of dark and light meat)
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Cook onion and garlic in oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until onion is softened, about 2 minutes. Add carrot and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid mushrooms give off is evaporated and they are very tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, parsley, and 3 tablespoons ketchup, then transfer vegetables to a large bowl and cool.
Stir together bread crumbs and milk in a small bowl and let stand 5 minutes. Stir in egg and egg white, then add to vegetables. Add turkey and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to vegetable mixture and mix well with your hands. (Mixture will be very moist.)
Form into a 9- by 5-inch oval loaf in a lightly oiled 13- by 9- by 2-inch metal baking pan and brush meatloaf evenly with remaining 2 tablespoons ketchup. Bake in middle of oven until thermometer inserted into meatloaf registers 170°F, 50 to 55 minutes.
Let meatloaf stand 5 minutes before serving.
Thanks for posting this. I think I'll make it for dinner tomorrow. It sounds like good comfort food. I have the same mushroom issue so I'm hoping you're not leading my astray!
I too hate mushrooms, but don't mind if they're hidden in things…i will have to check this out because I love meatloaf. Thanks!
