Turkey And Vegetable Loaf - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 lbs lean ground turkey
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, minced
1 egg white, beaten lightly
1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
salt
black pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F and line a non-stick loaf pan with parchment paper.
Place the onion, garlic, turkey and herbs in a bowl. Mix together with your hands then add the egg white to bind.
Press 1/2 of mixture into preapred pan. Arrange sliced zucchini and tomatoes over meat. Top with the rest of the turkey and press down firmly.
Cover with kitchen foil and place in a roasting pan. Pour in enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the loaf pan.
Bake for 1-1 1/4 hours, removing foil during the last 20 minutes. Test by inserting a skewer in the center of loaf; juices should run clear. The loaf will also shrink away from the sides when done.
Remove from pan and transfer to a warm platter. Serve with warmed tomato sauce if desired.
