Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs fresh ground turkey
1 (6 ounce) packages stove top monterey style prepared stuffing
1 tablespoon dijon mushrooms
1/2 cup onions, chopped ( I prefer sweet variety)
1 tablespoon garlic
1/4 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
1 (12 ounce) jars mushroom gravy
3/4 cup of shredded cheese ( your choice)
2 eggs, lightly beaten ( I also use “fake” eggs)
Directions:
Mix all the ingredients together, except 1/2 the jar of gravy and the cheese (put those aside for later).
Once all the ingredients are well mixed, spray the bottom of a glass baking dish with Pam or olive oil cooking spray.
Put just over half the meat mixture in the bottom of the baking dish and spread out into an even round patty (should look like a really large hamburger patty).
Then take a Tablespoon or so of the remaining gravy and spread evenly on top of the patty, with about a half inch perimeter.
Take the shredded or sliced cheese and dump onto the patty and”smoosh” it into the meat mixture with the back of a spoon or your hands.
Get it in as even a layer as possible, again leaving about a half inch perimeter.
Then roll the remaining meat mixture into a ball and lay on top of the patty/cheese/gravy.
Smoosh the sides of the bottom layer up to form one solid “dome” of meatloaf and seal in the cheese layer.
Cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes; add the remaining gravy to the top and put back in the oven for another 15 minutes (or until a fork or toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean).
Yummy!
