Mexican Turkey Loaf

I've been experimenting with meatloaf lately. I don't particularly like meat- it has to be verrrrry well seasoned for me to enjoy it. But, Chris is a carnivore. And, since ground beef is the cheapest meat you can get, I have it hangin' around. (Seen Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution?? Let's not go there.) So, I figured, if I add enough spices and extras to my meatloaf it'll taste good, right? Yes.

Recently, I bought ground turkey because it's leaner than beef, was on sale for less than $2/lb, and I assume (read: HOPE) it's sans pink slime. :} (Ok, I went there. Sorry.) So, I have this turkey. What to do, what to do...

LOAF!

I mixed up:
1 1/2 lbs ground turkey
1 egg
1/2c milk
1c bread crumbs (I make my own)
~2T taco seasoning (don't have? Use 2t cumin, 1t salt, 2t chili powder, 1/2t garlic. That'll be close.
~1/4c salsa
~1/2c grated cheddar cheese
~1/4c chopped cilantro

Mix all by hand. Put in greased loaf pan. Bake @350F for about an hour. I'm gonna serve mine with sour crean, salsa, and corn chips. You could put yours in a tortilla, make guacamole, whatever!

We'll see if this turns out.... :P
