BBQ
Barbara's Applesauce Meat Loaf

2 lb ground turkey
1 egg; slightly beaten
1/2 cup quick-cooking oatmeal (not instant)
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/3 cup corn kernels (optional)
1/4 cup minced red bell pepper
1/4 cup minced flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoon salt; or to taste
1 freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon prepared mustard

IN A LARGE BOWL, combine the turkey, egg, oatmeal, applesauce, onion, corn, red pepper, parsley, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper and mix just until the ingredients are blended.

Using a 10-inch non-metal pie plate, form the meat into a circle about 8 inches in diameter and 2 inches high. Combine the ketchup, mustard and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl.

Spread it over the top of the meat loaf. Cover the top with wax paper, place the dish in the oven and cook the meat loaf on 100 % power (high) for 10 minutes, rotating the pan after 5 minutes. Remove the dish, carefully take off the waxed paper, and let the meat loaf stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
