Oh man, it's only March! That means we're (looks at fingers) eight months from Thanksgiving. But we want turkey (makes face, continues in a whiny voice) noooowwwww. Can there be no resolution to this craving? (Shakes head sadly.) Yes… (looks at recipe) ground turkey mixed with ricotta and meatloaf seasoning made into a perfect mini loaf. (Eyes light up.) And it's served with mashed cauliflower and a gravy! That's so like Thanksgiving… in form, not flavor. Close enough! (Clicks order.)
