Adding a rich, fragrant buttery croissant to the minced meat is a great “trick”. As a result, meatloaf is very rich in taste.
Preheat oven to 170°C. Tear the croissant into small pieces, pour over the cream, leave while everything else is cooked.
Peel the onion and garlic, cut into small pieces. Remove the thyme leaves from the stems (no stems needed).
Melt butter in a saucepan, add onion, garlic and thyme. Fry over low heat, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes. Cool slightly, then beat with a blender into a homogeneous cream.
Cut the turkey fillet into medium pieces and turn through a meat grinder. Add onion-garlic cream, mix thoroughly. Add the egg and yolks to the soaked croissant with cream, beat with a blender and mix with minced meat. Salt and pepper generously.
Grease a cake tin with butter and pour the mixture into it. Place a container of water on the bottom of the oven. Place the meatloaf in the center and bake until the juices from the center prick are clear, about 40 minutes.
