    Mystic Mini Swedish Turkey Loaves with Dairy-Free Mushroom Gravy

    4
    By Alisa Fleming on October 31, 2019 Dairy-Free Recipes, Entrees

    We’re venturing into the unknown with this mystical Mini Swedish Turkey Loaves recipe. It’s a family-friendly recipe that’s Anna and Elsa approved, and is a perfect make-ahead meal for the cold weather season. The recipe was created dairy-free, but we’ve added other allergy-friendly options, like gluten-free and egg-free, to fit most dietary needs.

    Mystic Mini Swedish Turkey Loaves are Easy for Freezing

    This easy meatloaf-style dinner recipe was created by Melanie Marcus, MA, RD, Dole’s Nutrition and Health Communications Manager. In honor of Frozen 2, she created nutritious meals that were designed to be prepared in advance and frozen. Each make-ahead recipe includes special freezing, thawing and reheating instructions to ensure a perfect outcome every time.

    This recipe is a part of Dole’s Empowering the Hero Within campaign. According to William Goldfield, Dole’s director of communication:

    Our goal is to warmly embrace the universal appeal of Disney’s Frozen 2 and the film’s themes of family, fortitude, responsibility and the awesome power of nature to help create healthier household routines that can lead to long-term, positive changes in behavior. More important, we want to combine the powers of Dole and Disney’s Frozen 2 to make healthy eating fun, exciting and maybe even a bit magical.

    Rumor has it that Frozen 2 isn’t set in Sweden. Speculators say that Frozen was based on Norway and Frozen 2 on Iceland. But this mini Swedish turkey loaves recipe plays on Nordic recipes in general for savory, spiced comfort food. And it’s a unique way to enjoy that season pumpkin spice blend.

    These healthier little loaves are made with lean ground turkey, but you can substitute another lean ground meat if needed.
    Author: Melanie Marcus, MA, RD
    Recipe type: Entree
    Cuisine: American
    Serves: 8 servings (about 3 cups gravy)
    Ingredients
    • 1 large egg
    • 2 pounds 93% lean ground turkey
    • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
    • ½ cup unsweetened plain dairy-free milk beverage
    • ½ cup whole wheat or gluten-free panko breadcrumbs
    • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
    • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 4 ounces mushrooms, sliced
    • 2 cups unsalted chicken stock
    • 3 tablespoons whole wheat flour or all-purpose gluten-free flour
    • ¼ cup plain unsweetened dairy-free yogurt or dairy-free sour cream
    • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
    Instructions
    1. Preheat your oven to 350°F, and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
    2. Whisk the egg in a large bowl. Gently mix in the turkey, onion, milk beverage, breadcrumbs, pumpkin pie spice, and ½ teaspoon salt.
    3. Form the turkey mixture into 8 (4 x 2½-inch) loaves and place them on your prepared pan.
    4. Bake for 40 minutes or until the internal temperature of the mini turkey loaves reaches 165°F.
    5. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.
    6. In a medium bowl, whisk together the stock and flour. Add the slurry to your skillet and cook 3 minutes or until thickened, whisking occasionally. Whisk in the yogurt or sour cream alternative, pepper, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt.
    7. Serve the loaves topped with the gravy sprinkled with parsley.
    Notes
    Chef Tip: To freeze loaves, prepare recipe through step 2, but do not bake; freeze 2 hours or until frozen. Wrap loaves tightly with plastic wrap and freeze in freezer-safe zip-top plastic bags up to 3 months. Thaw loaves in the refrigerator overnight then bake on a parchment-lined rimmed baking pan at 350°F for 40 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Proceed with step 3 to prepare gravy.

      I tried cooking this tonight for dinner. I used poultry seasoning instead of the pumpkin spice. I have to say that my family and I werent all that fond of it personally. *IF* I make it again, Im going to try sauteeing the onions first, maybe add some cheese.

        I wouldn’t hesitate to add more salt to the meat if you found the flavor lacking in any way – the idea that you might want to add cheese leads me to believe it needs more salt for your family’s taste!

      Do you have an alternative suggestion for pumpkin spice in this recipe?

        I would use a generous pinch of nutmeg. If you wanted, you could add a pinch of cloves too. I think that would still be very delicious.
