Turkey-Walnut Meatloaf
From 12 Best Foods Cookbook by Dana Jacobi, with a few tweaks from me. She says "Cooking ground turkey breast with a lavish amount of chopped raw vegetables plus finely ground walnuts instead of the usual bread filler produces a beautifully flavorful and moist meat loaf."

DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Place the turkey, garlic, onion, carrot, celery, and parsley in a mixing bowl.
- Pulse the walnuts in a food processor until they are finely ground.
- Add nuts, egg, thyme, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix well.
- Pack the mixture firmly into a loaf pan. Spread the tomatoes over the top, and lay the bay leaves on top of the tomatoes. Arrange the bacon to cover the bay leaves.
- Bake 50 minutes, or until a thermometer registers 160^ and the loaf has pulled away from the edges of the pan.
- Cool 20 minutes and remove the bay leaves before serving.
