Cold Turkey Loaf
"I love a dinner of cold meat loaf along with a variety of salads and a bottle of good Gewürztraminer," writes Rodney Garside. But since beef and pork are not on his diet, he uses ground turkey and plain or Italian-style turkey sausages.
How to Make It
Step 1
1
Tear bread into chunks and whirl in a food processor to make fine crumbs. Measure 2 cups and put in a large bowl.
Step 2
2
Squeeze sausages from casings into bowl. Add ground turkey, egg, milk, onion, sage, salt, black and white pepper, and cayenne. Mix well.
Step 3

Pat meat loaf mixture into an oiled or nonstick 5- by 9-inch loaf pan.
Step 4
4
Bake in a 350° oven until meat loaf is firm to touch in center, about 1 1/2 hours.
Step 5
5
Serve hot, or let cool, then cover and chill until cold, at least 3 hours. Or store, chilled, up to 2 days. Run a knife between meat and pan rim. Invert meat loaf onto a platter. Cut into thick slices.
