yummmmmy...that sounds good...although I'd make mashed taters and have some cranbury sauce (just like Thanksgiving!)
Here's a question for ya.......how do you make the turkey breast cutlets? And they seem a little expensive.....do they shrink up? or do they pretty much stay the same size as they are in the package? What I see here is a package of 4 - but it looks like 1 package may not be enough and 2 would just be too much.
Just freeze the extra ones, you will someday find the perfect use for those couple of extra turkey breasts, or whatever else you might want just a few more so buy and open a second package, with me its always italian sausages.
Mornin' nic29! I personally find it comforting to hear you say you will give it another try! That was my problem...if I failed it once I didn't try again! This thread here is helping me get beyond that. The kind of attitude I had is what made me start disliking cooking so much. I got frusterated and started thinking why try anything...it probably won't turn out anyhow?! Really negetive thinking! But hearing here what everyone says and does has helped me get beyond that kind of thinking..most of the time!! I still have that fear of failure but I'm trying to work past that. Horray for you!
I can't say I particularly enjoy cooking because I don't - but I need to lose weight and the kraft mac n cheese just ain't good for that lol. Hubby has been cooking for the last several years, but I have to say grilled chicken and steak - have gotten pretty boring. Yes, we would occasionally throw in a ravioli dinner, but still...our menu has been really limited. Since my daughter has been so busy with cheerleading and such family time has really gotten away from us... I don't want to lose it. So I am making the effort (hoping not to kill anyone in process) to try to cook. We all sit down at the table together and talk about our days. Which is what we have always done, but the limited menu has made it more challenging since no one really wants to be there. lol.
I appreciate everyone's encouragement! I look forward to new ideas and recipes that we may enjoy.
Nic the most important thing you're doing is everyone sitting at the dinner table and sharing their day-the food at times like that is secondary. Cherish these years with your kids-it goes very fast.

I've never cooked with the cutlets before.....aren't they kind of "pounded out" so they cook faster? Today I am using actually a turkey tenderloin (?). It will bake at 350 for one hour and 30 minutes or so.....
I think it was the juice from onion soup too. If someone had told you to use onion soup they must have meant the dry package--tho a whole pack might be too strong. The amount of liquid is usually small. Also more dry ingredient to bind it with the egg might have made a firmer meatloaf.
I do love meatloaf and make it differently each time. This last week I used saltine crumbs and a little gelatin sprinkled over the liquids and it added a nice firm texture (the way the veal would do---I don't eat veal---like it but it is just to sad.
another way for meatloaf---substitute salsa for liquid, just add egg and bread crumbs ,chopped onion, bell pepper and celery- very good.....
