Turkey & Wild Mushroom Meatloaf
recipe adapted from Rachael Ray

Ingredients

Note: clean mushrooms with a damp cloth. Do not run directly under water.

• 2 tbs. EVOO, divided
  
• 1-6oz. package whole mushrooms, diced
  
• 1/2 Vidalia onion, chopped
• Salt and pepper
• 1 1/3 pounds ground turkey, the average weight of 1 package
• 3 or 4 sprigs fresh sage, leaves chopped, about 2 tablespoons
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 cup GF bread crumbs
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tbs. EVOO
  
• 2 tablespoons brown rice flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning

Directions

1. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 tbs. oil. Add chopped mushrooms and onion and season with salt and pepper. Saute mushrooms 5 or 6 minutes until dark and tender. Remove from heat. Transfer mushrooms to a bowl and return pan to stove top to preheat to cook patties.
2. Add turkey to the mushroom mixture. Make a well in the center of the meat. Add sage, Worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs and beaten egg and season with salt and pepper. Mix turkey meat loaf. Divide meat loaf mixture into 4 equal parts by scoring the meat before you form patties. Form 4 equal oval patties 1 inch thick. Add 1 tbs. of EVOO to pan and arrange patties in the skillet. Cook 8 minutes on each side and transfer to a serving plate or individual dinner plates. Return pan to heat and add 1 tbs. EVOO. Once oil has heated through, whisk in flour and cook 30 seconds. Whisk in broth and season gravy with poultry seasoning, salt and pepper, to taste. Simmer gravy until it reaches desired thickness, and pour over patties, reserving a little to pass at the table.
