Not My Grandma's Meatloaf

Tonight I made another Giada creation: Turkey Meatloaf with Feta and Sun-dried Tomatoes. I'm not normally a meatloaf fan, but Brian thought it sounded good so I gave it a try. (I chose to leave out the salt because the feta was so salty, and I'm glad I did because sometimes Giada adds a bit too much salt.) It was incredibly easy -- I mixed it all together and then put it in the fridge until Brian got home from work. Then he popped it in the oven to cook while I was getting my haircut. I mashed potatoes (Idahoes with a little milk, sour cream and garlic powder) and steamed broccoli to go with it.

At first, I wasn't sure that I liked it. It was so far removed from what I thought of as meatloaf-flavor that it threw me off. But as I ate more, it grew on me. Brian says it tasted like pizza. I think it tastes like breakfast sausage patties. Either way, we liked it a lot, and even Jack ate almost his entire slice with a hearty side of ketchup, a definite victory.

Here's Jack polishing off his broccoli (his current favorite veggie). He calls it "brock-leeeeeee".

  1. Next time you do the mashed potatoes, try adding some shredded parmesean cheese. So yummy! You don't need much.
