Living in Michigan, we enjoy Michigan Cherries during the month of July. We once did a cherry theme and it turned out pretty good. Everyone had to make something that had cherries in it. The hope was that everyone used fresh MI cherries, but I am sure a few people cheated.
My friend made the turkey meatloaf and it was perfect! It had just the right amount of cherries in it. I was excited about this one, because it was something I would never think to make. I think she said she got the recipe from the Travers City website.
Turkey and Cherry Meatloaf
- Olive oil
- 20 oz. lean ground turkey
- 3 oz. minced onion
- 2 oz. minced carrot
- 2 oz. minced celery
- 1 T. minced garlic
- 4 oz. pitted Montmorency cherries
- 1 oz. brown sugar
- 1/2 t. English dry mustard
- 1/2 t. dry thyme
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 c. Quaker oats
- 1/2 T. kosher salt
- 1 t. black pepper
In saute pan, add a little olive oil. Saute carrot, celery and onion for 30 seconds. Add garlic and cherries. Saute a few minutes to evaporate cherry juice. Add brown sugar. Mix into ground turkey and add seasonings and egg yolks. Add oats. Mix well and place equal parts of mix on a greased baking sheet, forming into two loaves. Bake at 375° for 35 to 40 minutes, or when internal temperature is 160°. Yields two 10-oz. loaves; feeds four to six.
