On this Easter day, I decided to be in company of the other feathery one. My protein of choice was turkey. Transformed my lean protein into a succulent loaf. And, because turkey is somewhat bland, I decided to incorporate diced vegetables, spices, herbs and other ingredients so as to boost the taste in a huge way.
Before I added veggies, I sautéed in a drizzle of olive oil and seasoned along with a pinch of salt, black pepper, etc.

After vegetables cooled these were added to seasoned turkey along with other ingredients.
MAIN INGREDIENTS FOR TURKEY LOAF
All ingredients were added to turkey and combined without overworking. A loaf was made and a home-made sweet and sour sauce brushed on.
