Turkey Meatloaf

I made Rachael Ray's recipe for turkey meatloaf, after seeing her make it on Worst Cooks in America. It has Ground turkey with carrots, onions, celery, and pine nuts.  I also added chopped walnuts instead of hazelnuts.    I didn't make the cranberry sauce that goes with it.

Italian Rice Dressing For Turkey

This is my great aunt Faye's recipe.  It's an Italian rice stuffing and it so good.  We make it every year.   

Ingredients:   

                          

 1 stick butter                                                                                             

1 3/4 cup Minute rice, cooked

1 lb Sausage, raw

1 egg

1/4 tsp Allspice

3 tsp Sage

1 tsp Salt

8 slices of Bread

2 carrots

1 bunch of Parsley

2 Celery

1 large Onion

Break the bread into crumbs and put in a Ziploc bag and let sit for a few hours, to harden.  Grind up carrots, parsley, celery, and onion in food chopper and put them in a skillet pan on the stove. Simmer in butter until they are cooked. Let veggies cool.  Cook minute rice as directed on the package.  Add raw sausage and bread crumbs to veggie mixture, and add allspice, egg, sage, and salt.  Mix all together in a big bowl.. Put all ingredients into turkey and cook turkey in the oven.

Slow Roasted Turkey

We cook our turkey overnight to have a moist slow roasted turkey.

Thaw out your bird in the sink full of cold/warm  water for a couple of days,

We also put bacon and poultry seasoning on top to have a nice flavor.

Cook it on 450 degrees for an hour, then reduce temperature to 200.  Cook for at least 10 hours, and you can keep it in the oven on warm until you're ready to serve.
