Germanic Meat Loaves

Ingredients

• 1½ lbs ground turkey
• 1 medium onion finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic minced
• 1 cup uncooked rice
• ½ lb shredded lettuce
• 2 eggs
• 1-2 cups bread crumbs

Directions

1. Boil rice for 5 minutes (no need to be fully cooked).
2. Mix meat, onion, garlic, eggs and shredded lettuce.
3. Mix in rice once it is partially cooked.
4. Form meat mixture into small loaves (no larger than a fist).
5. Coat loaves with bread crumbs and place in a baking dish.
6. Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes (dries out and hardens the loaves).
7. Top with a sauce of choice and water or sauce to keep loaves moist.
8. Bake for another 30 minutes at 375°

We learned this recipe in connection with yellow veggie cream sauce but they can totally be made with another sauce of choice. They are too dry to be made with no sauce.
