Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs lean ground turkey
1 medium onions, finely chopped
2/3 cup quick-cooking oatmeal
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
3 large garlic cloves, minced
4 teaspoons cajun seasoning
2 egg whites ( beaten to blend)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/3 cup creole mustard or 1/3 cup another grainy or spicy mustard
Directions:
If you don’t have a pre-made Cajun spice blend, there are several good ones on this site. Look for one that has no added salt.
Preheat oven to 350 F
Optional Step: You can ground the oatmeal in the food processor one or two pulses. You are not looking for flour, just bits of oatmeal somewhat smaller than the whole grain.
Combine all ingredients except mustard in large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Place meat mixture in a nonstick loaf pan.
Cover and bake 20 minutes. Scrape off any crud that may appear on the surface. Spread top with mustard.
Bake uncovered another 35 minutes.
Remove from pan and cut into slices.
