Turkey Meatloaf Muffins & Mashed Potatoes

Last night I made Turkey Meatloaf Muffins  and Mashed Potatoes for dinner.

I began by prepping the meatloaf.  I cooked onions, mushrooms and garlic until they were soft and then added soy sauce and cooking sherry until it formed a paste.  Then I added parsley and cooked until it was aeromatic.   I then combined the vegetable mixture with the ground turkey.



Next, I put liners in my muffin tin and put a spoonful of the turkey mixture into the liners.


Finally, I baked them at 350* for 27 minutes.
Next up Mashed Potatoes!!

I used red skin potatoes.  I began by peeling them and cutting them in 1/4.


I then put them in boiling water and cooked them for about 20 minutes.
When they were tender I drained them and put them into my mixer's bowl with butter, salt, pepper and buttermilk.


I mixed them up until they were the consistency we wanted.

My husband made the gravy to go with the potatoes and meatloaf.
He mixed a gravy packet with chicken stock and a little bit of chicken bouiloon, and cooked it until it was boiling and then let it simmer for a few minutes.

Here is my completed plate:


So, overall I would say that the tally is:

Turkey Meatloaf Muffins- A hit!!

Mashed Potatoes- A definite hit!!

Gravy- A definite hit!! (because my husband made it)
