Turkey Meatloaf
Marcel and Sydney worked together to make Turkey Meatloaf as the main dish at the South Arm Cooking Club for Seniors. This lean and yet moist meatloaf is simple to make and is wonderful for dinner or as a sandwich filling.
When making meatloaf for solo dining, don’t form the meat mixture into one large loaf. Instead, spray a muffin tin (or two) with cooking spray and fill with meatloaf mixture. Fill each muffin cup to the top, but don’t pack down the mixture. Bake at a preheated 375F oven for about 25 minutes. A good way to save your hydro bill.
You can freeze the individual muffin loaves for future meal. Just thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat in the microwave when you’re ready to eat. More on following page. Click here to continue reading
Turkey Black Bean Chili
Minoo made a Turkey Black Bean Chili in the South Arm Community Kitchen. I had blogged about 3 other chili recipes here:
Chili is a very versatile dish. You can serve it on it’s own or serve it with bread, noodles or rice. It’s an almost complete meal by itself as it has protein from the meat and beans, and fiber and vitamins from all the vegetables in it.
You can double the recipe to freeze the leftovers in single portion containers or ziplock bags for days that you dont feel like cooking. Defrost it in the refrigerator overnight and reheat on low heat on the stove.
