Here’s another recipe I made last month when my freezer died. If you’re scrambling to use up food after a power outage, I hope it helps:

Barefoot Contessa’s Turkey Meatloaf

(This makes a ton. Half the recipe, depending on how much turkey you have.)

3 cups chopped yellow onions
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme
1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup chicken stock
1 1/2 teaspoons tomato paste
5 pounds ground turkey
1 1/1 cups plain breadcrumbs
3 large eggs, beaten
3/4 cup ketchup

Preheat oven to 325.
Saute onions in olive oil until translucent, about 15 minutes.
Add salt, lots of pepper, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, chicken stock and tomato paste and mix well.
Allow to cool to room temperature.
Combine ground turkey, bread crumbs, eggs and onion mixture in a large bowl.
Mix well and shape into a recatangular loaf on an ungreased sheet pan.
Spread ketchup evenly on top.
Bake for 1 1/2 hours until the internal temperature is 160 and the meatloaf is cooked through.
Yield: 8 to 12 servings.
