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

Method

  • Preheat oven to 375°F 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.
