Ingredients
2 lb ground turkey
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup quick-cooking oatmeal (not instant)
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/3 cup corn kernels (optional)
1/4 cup minced red bell pepper
1/4 cup minced flat-leaf parsley
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
2 tsp salt, or to taste
1 freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tsp prepared mustard
Directions
IN A LARGE BOWL, combine the turkey, egg, oatmeal, applesauce, onion,
corn, red pepper, parsley, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, salt and
pepper and mix just until the ingredients are blended. Using a
10-inch non-metal pie plate, form the meat into a circle about 8
inches in diameter and 2 inches high. Combine the ketchup, mustard
and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl. Spread it over
the top of the meat loaf. Cover the top with wax paper, place the
dish in the oven and cook the meat loaf on 100 % power (high) for 10
minutes, rotating the pan after 5 minutes. Remove the dish, carefully
take off the waxed paper, and let the meat loaf stand for 10 minutes
before slicing.

The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of recipes way back into ancient history, at least as far into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, sadly, these old cookbooks were just very basic pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
During Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. He also recounts how the Roman chefs made use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, fennel and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new herbs and spices led to an eruption in books on cooking, the majority of which are kept safe in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our site. |
