Italian Turkey Sandwich Loaf Recipes

ITALIAN STYLE TURKEY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare a baking dish with cooking spray.
• Mix turkey, egg, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic, black pepper, and salt in a large bowl; shape into a loaf and put into prepared baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes. Spoon about half the tomato sauce over the loaf and continue baking until the meatloaf is no longer pink in the center, 10 to 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Rest meatloaf 5 to 10 minutes before slicing to serve.
• While the meatloaf rests, warm remaining tomato sauce in a small saucepan over medium-low heat; serve with the sliced meatloaf.

PANCETTA AND TURKEY MEATLOAF SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, stir together the bread crumbs, parsley, eggs, milk, cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Add the turkey and gently stir to combine, being careful not to overwork the meat.
• On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, lay out the pancetta, overlapping the slices, into a large rectangle shape. In the middle of the rectangle, place the turkey mixture, shaping into a loaf. Using the parchment paper, wrap the pancetta up and around the turkey loaf to cover completely. Squeeze the parchment-covered loaf with your hands to secure the pancetta and solidify the shape of the loaf. While still covered in parchment, bake the loaf until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
• In a blender, combine the arugula and the mayonnaise and process until smooth. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• To make the sandwiches, slice the rolls and spread with the arugula mayonnaise. Slice the turkey meatloaf and place on the rolls to make sandwiches.

ITALIAN-FLAVORED TURKEY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
• Mix together turkey, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic, pepper, and salt in a medium bowl until well combined. Form mixture into a loaf and place in the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Pour tomato sauce over the meatloaf and bake for 5 more minutes.
• Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over top and bake until cheese is melted and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf reads at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), about 5 more minutes.

HOT ITALIAN TURKEY SUB

Steps:

• Dice garlic clove (or just buy the garlic in a jar that's ready to use) then mix the garlic, basil and olive oil in a small bowl, set aside.
• Cut each of the loaves of bread in quarters (cut the loaf from front to back and from top to bottom, in the middle).
• Coat the inside of the bread with the olive oil mixture then layer on the cheese and turkey.
• Close up the sandwiches and wrap well in aluminum foil.
• Place in the oven at 300 degrees until the cheese melts.
• I like to go really heavy with the olive oil/garlic/basil mixture and with the turkey, but beware going heavy on the cheese -- mozarella smells really strong when there's a lot around!
