Turkey Loaf

Ingredients

• 3 c. chopped yellow onions (2 large onions)
• 2 Tbsp. good olive oil
• 2 tsp. kosher salt
• 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tsp. fresh thyme leaves (1/2 tsp. dried)
• 1/3 c. Worcestershire sauce
• 3/4 c. chicken stock
• 1 1/2 tsp. tomato paste
• 5 lbs. ground turkey breast
• 1 1/2 c. plain dry bread crumbs
• 3 extra-large eggs, beaten
• 3/4 c. ketchup

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a medium saute pain, on medium-low heat, cook the onions, olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme until the onions are translucent but not browned, approximately 15 minutes. Add the Worcestershire sauce, chicken stock, and tomato paste and  mix well. Allow to cool to room temperature.
3. Combine the ground turkey, bread crumbs, eggs, and onion mixture in a large bowl. Mix well and shape into a rectangular loaf on an ungreased baking sheet. Spread the ketchup evenly on top. Bake for 1 1/2 hours, until the internal temperature is 160 degrees and the meat loaf is cooked through. (A pan of hot water in the oven, under the meat loaf, will keep the top from cracking.) Serve hot, room temperature, or cold in a sandwich.
