I'm back! All moved in and so happy to be in our new home. Everything is still a work in progress as we're waiting on furniture deliveries and painting and decorating, but every day I get a little more done and feel more settled.
I had an idea to create a turkey-pumpkin meatloaf a few weeks ago, but then things were turned upside down, so I put that thought on hold. When I asked JJ what he was in the mood for, he said meatloaf. I thought it was the perfect opportunity to try it out! I added pumpkin puree and sage, then I topped it with some freshly made cranberry sauce, and it was delicious! It had lots of flavor, was very healthy, and combined sweet and savory perfectly.
Turkey-Pumpkin Meatloaf with Cranberry Sauce
1 lb. 99% lean ground turkey breast
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 egg white
1/3 cup bread crumbs
1 tsp. rubbed sage
Salt and pepper
1 tbsp. worchestershire sauce
1 cup fresh cranberries
1 tbsp. sugar
1/4 cup water
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment, spray with nonstick spray.
Add all meatloaf ingredients to a large mixing bowl.
Toss gently to combine, form into a log on the baking sheet.
Place in the oven, bake for 30 minutes.
Add cranberries, sugar and water to a small saucepot.
Bring to a simmer, cook uncovered for 15 minutes.
Spoon onto the meatloaf, bake for another 15 minutes.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven, rest for 5 minutes.
Slice and serve.

That sounds like a great idea. I have some extra pumpkin puree on hand and some berries from my CSA share that are similar to cranberries so this sounds like something that should be in my future.
This is an excellent idea! It combines two of my favorite fall foods and in such a unique way. Can't go wrong there.
Cool idea! I'm also huge in mixing healthy ingredients into my turkey meatballs.
