Adding a rich, fragrant buttery croissant to the minced meat is a great “trick”. As a result, meatloaf is very rich in taste.

How to cook Turkey meat loaf

Step 1

Preheat oven to 170°C. Tear the croissant into small pieces, pour over the cream, leave while everything else is cooked.

Step 2

Peel the onion and garlic, cut into small pieces. Remove the thyme leaves from the stems (no stems needed).

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.
