Here's a meatloaf recipe that can be served at family meals or fancy dinners. Start with our ground turkey breast or our unique ground turkey (a mix of white and dark meat). Mix in warm spices, apple sauce, toasted pine nuts, and raisins and top with a tomato-dijon-vinegar glaze that adds another layer of flavor and makes for a pretty presentation. Slice your meatloaf and serve with mashed potatoes and your favorite vegetables or make incredible sandwiches on crusty bread with a little extra glaze spooned over the meatloaf.

TIP: To easily remove your whole meatloaf from the pan, cut a strip of parchment paper long enough to be able to grab each end when you're ready to lift it out of the pan. Once you oil your pan, place the parchment strip in the pan, press it against the edges then spoon your meatloaf mixture into the pan. When you take the meatloaf out of the oven, carefully lift it out of the pan by holding the two ends of the parchment paper.

Thai Beef Skewers

We love grilling up skewers. It's a great way to feed a crowd and looks fantastic served up on a platter with whatever greens and vegetables are in season and a side of hearty rice. It's one of our go-to's for outdoor entertaining. We recommend Heartstone Farm's grass fed and finished Flat Iron Steak for this recipe because it is a great cut to marinate and has nice marbling that delivers on rich flavor. Don't forget to slice AGAINST the grain before skewering to ensure tender, juicy results.
