Ingredients:
1 package ground turkey (if possible, use organic, free-range turkey. It tastes better, it's more humane, and the dose of smugness that comes with purchasing it is even better than salt!)
1 onion, diced
1 package frozen peas & carrots mix (hey, old habits die hard)
1 crown broccoli, cut into small pieces
3 tsp olive oil (or whatever oil you prefer)
3 tbsp gluten free ketchup
1 heaping tbsp crushed garlic
2 tsp basil
1/4 cup gluten free breadcrumbs (I use Dr. Schar brand)
2 tbsp brown sugar
salt and pepper, to taste
Heat the frozen peas and carrots in the microwave one minute less than whatever the package directions indicate (this will assure that the veggies are no longer frozen, but won't be overcooked later in the process).
Sautee the peas, carrots, broccoli and onion on medium-high. Add the garlic, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Cook until all ingredients are combined and the onion becomes translucent. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix the turkey, ketchup, breadcrumbs and basil until combined. Add the veggies and mix thoroughly. Put the meat mixture into a Pyrex baking dish (or ceramic, if you prefer), press with a spatula until evenly distributed, and bake at 375 degrees for 45-50 minutes. Serves 4.
If you are not lactose intolerant or keep Kosher, some mozzarella or cheddar mixed in with the meat is a nice variation. Another is to add a bit of marsala wine to the meat mixture.
