Turkey Meatloaf with Feta and Sun-dried Tomatoes

By -

 Sad to say that my last post was in 2015 but I'm super excited to be able to post today. This recipe, by Giada De Laurentiis, came from a recipe exchange party I hosted for my co-workers back in 2015. It is quite good and I have made it a few times since then. We're having it this week so I'm posting the recipe here. Receipe as written serves 4 but I am doubling so I have plenty of leftovers for lunches. 

1/2 C plain breadcrumbs (I use panko)

1/3 C chopped fresh parsley (I omit this)

1/4 C sun-dried tomatoes in oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 large eggs, room temp and lightly beaten

1/4 C olive oil

1/2 C crumbled feta

1.5 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper (freshly ground, of course)

1 lb ground turkey

Preheat oven to 350 and spray 9 x 5 non-stick loaf pan with cooking spray. Conversely, spray a muffin tin. In large bowl, stir together all ingredients except turkey. Add turkey and mix gently. Avoid overworking meat. Pack meat into prepared pan or muffin tin and bake until internal temp reaches 165 degrees F - about 40-ish minutes if using a loaf pan. Sooner if using a muffin tin. Allow meatloaf to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve with some green veg (asparagus is divine with this) and mashed potatoes.

Dayton's Famous Pine Club Salad Dressing

By -
Well, close enough anyway. The Pine Club is probably Dayton's most famous restaraunt--not that Dayton is some culinary mecca or anything. This dressing is traditionally served on an iceberg lettuce salad with grated carrot (boring). It's a shame, really, since the dressing is so good but that's why it's better to eat it at home on the salad of your choice. I like it over a green salad with blue cheese, apples/pears and toasted walnuts/pecans, it's good with pasta salad and it's also good on Isaac's broccoli salad. Serves approximately 8. 1 C vegetable/canola oil 3/4 C cider vinegar 1/3 C white sugar 1 tsp salt 2 tsp garlic powder 1 scant tsp red pepper flakes You can mix this one of two ways: either pour it all into a mason jar, put on the lid and shake the heck out of it or do it up with your stick blender. I recommend using the stick blender. Either way it's delicious. Refrigerate leftovers and note that it keeps pretty well. I think I had my...

Pesto Tortellini Salad

By -
Why don't we just re-name the blog "Recipes Kelly Stole from Isaac's" because I seem to have no other recipes amongst my repertoire. Sheesh. Again, this is not really a recipe, but this salad was, and still is, one of the biggest sellers at the restaurant. As with all of Isaac's recipes, I've drastically reduced the quantity from the original (5 lbs. of tortellini, anyone?) 1.5 lbs tri-colored cheese-filled tortellini (or regular white ones, whatever), cooked according to pkg directions and gently rinsed with cold water 1.5 medium-ish tomatoes, diced 1/2 medium-size red onion, diced 1/3 C black olives (do yourself a favor and get some decent olives) 2/3 C or so pesto (I did a mix of basil pesto and arugula pesto) Dump all ingredients into a bowl and stir until everything is well-coated by the pesto. This is tasty when served immediately but the flavor will continue to develop the longer it sits. As usual, I added 2 handfuls of chopped asparagus but wi...

mango soba update

By gwen -
A small note to those of us trying to eat more veg, as Kelly would say... this soba noodle salad is delicious with slaw replacing some or all of the noodles. I made it with just one little bundle of noodles, a whole bag of broccoli slaw, and half a bag of cabbage/carrot mixture, and it's great -- actually provides a delicious crunch and you don't miss the rest of the noodles. I cooked the chicken in a bit of the marinade, too, and diced it into the salad/noodle/mango mixture for some protein. Yum.
