meatloaf

Bomb tasty meatloaf! A little bit hippie, as is my style. Only pultries, ground turkey and spicy chicken sausage. mmmmm....

2 lbs meat to 1 lb ground sausage,
onion,
garlic,
basil,
oregano,
tomato sauce,
bread crumbs 1/2 cup,
1/2 tomato cup sauce

Sautee onion and garlic before hand, maybe next time throw in mushrooms. Mix 2lbs ground turkey to 1lb of sausage. Mix in basil, oregano, 1/2 cup tomato sauce, in with meat. Add the onion / garlic. Roll into loaf and cover with tomato sauce.

Next time I'll add in mushrooms to the sautee. Also, I could add some artichoke hearts into the meat mix and have little artichoke goodness chunks in the mix, maybe top off with olives next time as well. Matt also mentioned fennel being a good addition next time.
bake 1 hour 400 degrees
