Ingredients:
- 1 cup shitake mushrooms
- 1 cup white mushrooms
- 1/2 onion
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 2/3 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
Instructions:
-
Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Cook Mushrooms and Onions: In a medium nonstick skillet, combine the shitake mushrooms, white mushrooms, onion, and 1/4 cup of red wine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
-
Prepare Turkey Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, Panko breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon of tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, oregano, and egg. Mix well to incorporate all the ingredients.
-
Incorporate Mushrooms and Onions: Stir in the cooked mushroom and onion mixture into the turkey mixture until evenly distributed.
-
Shape the Meatloaf: Shape the turkey mixture into an 8×5-inch loaf and place it in a glass baking dish.
-
Top with Tomato Paste and Wine: Spread the remaining 1 tablespoon of tomato paste over the top of the meatloaf. Pour the remaining 1/4 cup of red wine into the baking dish around the meatloaf.
-
Bake: Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through.
-
Prepare Lite Gravy: While the meatloaf is baking, make the lite gravy. Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it boil for 3-5 minutes, or until thickened. Season with pepper to taste.
-
Serve: Once the meatloaf is done, slice it and serve with Oprah’s classic potatoes for a delicious and satisfying meal.
