Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 meat grinder
- 1 leaf tin
- 1 Oven tray
Ingredients
- 600 g turkey breast meat or turkey mince
- 50 g cheddar grated
- 1 piece egg free-range
- 2 pieces hard-boiled eggs free-range
- 3 slices bread
- 100 ml milk
- 300 g smoked bacon strips
- 1 tsp sea salt kosher
- ½ tsp ground pepper freshly ground
- 1 tsp garlic granules
- 1 tsp paprika Hungarian mild
- 1 tsp pepper cream
- 1 bunch parsley chopped
Instructions
- Cut the turkey breast into smaller pieces, and chop the meat very finely with a meat grinder.
- Finely chop the green parsley, and the hard-boiled eggs cut into small cubes.
- Put the minced turkey meat in a bowl and add the raw egg, the slices of bread soaked in milk and squeezed well, the chopped parsley, the grated cheddar cheese and all the spices: sea salt, freshly ground pepper, paprika, pepper cream and garlic granules.
- Mix all these ingredients well by hand until you get a homogeneous paste.
- Add the hard-boiled eggs cut into cubes and gently incorporate them into this meat paste.
- Grease a loaf tin with butter and place the smoked bacon strips on the bottom of the baking dish so that the ends remain outside.
- Place the meat paste in baking form over the bacon, level it evenly to avoid holes inside and wrap the meatloaf with the free bacon ends, pressing with your hand to fix it well.
- Bake the meatloaf in the oven at 200 C (392 F) for an hour.
- Prepare a tray lined with baking paper and turn over the meatloaf from the loaf tin.
- Bake at 230 C (446 F) for ten minutes until the bacon is fried and has a copper colour. Let it cool for five minutes.
- Serve warm with a potato salad or creamed spinach, or cold as a sandwich in a baguette with a bit of arugula and mayonnaise.

Notes
You can use minced turkey meat if you don’t have a meat grinder.
Be careful when removing the meatloaf from the tin because it contains melted butter and lard from the bacon. It is better to drain it first in a cup.
Let the meatloaf rest for five minutes before slicing it.
