Bread Machine Turkey Meatloaf - Created by Art Smith

This is a recipe I found on Oprah's website. My DH loves it! The recipe is for cooking in a bread machine, but I do it the conventional oven method since my bread machine only makes small loaves.

• Ready In: 1 hr 25 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 lb  dark turkey meat
• 1⁄2 lb white turkey meat
• 1⁄2 cup onion, diced
• 2  celery ribs, chopped
• 1  cup mushroom, chopped
• 1⁄4 cup bell pepper, diced
• 1⁄2 cup tomato sauce
• 1  cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 2  eggs
• 1  cup  breadcrumbs
• 1 (6 ounce) can tomatoes, diced
• 1  tablespoon dried chives
• 1  tablespoon  sodium-free seasoning
•  salt and pepper
•  herbs
• 1  dash Tabasco sauce
• 1  dash Worcestershire sauce
• 1⁄4 cup beer

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients (reserving a few tablespoons of diced tomatoes) and knead them in to a loaf.
2. Place in the bread pan, and place the pan in the bread machine.
3. Cover the top of the meatloaf with the remaining diced tomatoes (you can substitute ketchup).
4. Cook for 70 minutes or until done. Remove the pan from the bread machine and drain off any liquid. Be careful, as the liquid will be very hot.
5. Let the meatloaf settle for several minutes, then remove it from the bread pan.
6. Recommended technique: Make sure that your bread machine has a "Manual" or "Cook only" cycle. Do not attempt this recipe in a bread machine that does not have one. As an alternative, you can make this recipe in a loaf pan in a 350º oven for about an hour.
7. Recommended technique: It's important to have a mixture of white and dark meat, as this provides moisture and texture. A meatloaf with all white meat will be dry.
