Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using ground beef, roast until loaves reach minimum internal temperature, 20-25 minutes.

  1. 1

    Start the Meatloaves

    Coarsely crush crackers.

    In a mixing bowl, combine cheese, crackers, onion salt, and ground turkey.

    Form mixture into two equally-sized, oval-shaped loaves, about 3" in length and 2" by height.

    Place meatloaves on one side of prepared baking sheet and top with 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Roast in hot oven, 10 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven.

    While meatloaves roast, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Trim zucchini ends, halve lengthwise, and cut into 1/2” half-moons. Zucchini quantity may vary, but total weight will remain the same. Don't worry; recipe instructions are not impacted.

    Trim yellow squash ends, halve lengthwise, and cut into 1/2” half-moons.

    Peel and halve shallot. Slice thinly.

  3. 3

    Add Vegetables and Finish Meatloaves

    Place zucchini, yellow squash, 2 tsp. olive oil, and piri piri seasoning (use less if spice-averse) on empty side of baking sheet. Stir to combine and spread into an even layer on their side. Sheet will be hot! Use a utensil.

    Roast in hot oven until vegetables are tender and meatloaves reach a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 10-15 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven. Stir softened butter into vegetables. Sheet will be hot! Use a utensil.

    While vegetables and meatloaves roast, continue recipe.

  4. 4

    Start the Gravy

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add shallots and a pinch of pepper to hot pan. Stir occasionally until browned, 4-6 minutes.

  5. 5

    Finish Gravy and Finish Dish

    Add cream base to hot pan. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until sauce is slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.

    If too thick, add water, 1 tsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

    Remove from burner.
