  • Prep Time 30 minutes
  • Total Time 1 1/4 hours, plus resting
  • Yield Serves 6

Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    • 1/2 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
    • Coarse salt and ground pepper
    • 2 small leeks, white and light-green parts only, thinly sliced, washed, and dried thoroughly
    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • 1 cup cup shredded fontina cheese (4 ounces)
    • 1 slice day-old bread, cubed
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage leaves
    • 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey (93 percent lean)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Working in batches, cook mushrooms, stirring once or twice, until deep golden brown, about 5 minutes per batch. Season with salt and pepper; transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  2. Return skillet to medium and add 1 tablespoon oil. Add leeks and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 4 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Add to bowl with mushrooms and let cool.
  3. Add fontina, bread, egg, and sage to bowl and mix until thoroughly combined. Mix in turkey, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. On a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, use your hands to form turkey mixture into a 10-inch loaf. Bake until cooked through, about 45 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

Cook's Note

You can substitute Gouda for the fontina and use any type of mushroom.
