Love the Loaf!

Blame it on the holidays - we finally got around to making the December meatloaf! We substituted lean ground turkey for the beef and had to use rice bread instead of 'regular' sandwich bread. We weren't quite sure how it would turn out. The rice bread has a different consistency to it, and it was frozen when we bought it a half an hour before using it.




(it's out of focus but you get the idea)

The finished loaf was great (and that's coming from someone who is not a fan of meatloaf!). I liked the sweetness of it, and its overall consistency. Steve noted that next time we need to chop the bread smaller. He also said the curry and apricots give it a very different taste than standard meatloaf.

Just as an aside, to go along with the meatloaf we made an apricot and kale salad. Shredded kale, sliced green bell peppers, tomatoes, cut apricots, crumbled goat cheese, and balsamic vinaigrette as a dressing. The balsamic vinaigrette offsets the sweetness of the apricots.
