Ingredients
- 2 lb ground turkey thigh
- 3 TBSP medi mix
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 F.
- In a large bowl, mix turkey meat with medi mix until spices are evenly distributed throughout. A large metal spoon works great for this!
- Line a large loaf pan with parchment paper. Fill with turkey mixture.
- Get a cookie sheet and a 9″ x 13″ baking pan. Place loaf pan in the baking pan on top of the cookie sheet. Pour water in to the baking ban until about 1/4″ under the top, to create a water bath.
- Place your pan stack in the oven and bake for 75-90 minutes, until a meat thermometer inserted in the center reads 165 F.
- Remove from oven. Cool slightly (for now) or completely (for later). When ready to eat, slice loaf in 1/8-1/4″ slices. Brown in a frying pan over medium with butter for 3-4 minutes on each side. Serve with tzatziki and pita or salad.
