Ingredients
-
1 1/2 lbs lean ground turkey
-
1 medium onion, finely chopped
-
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
-
3 large garlic cloves, minced
-
4 teaspoons cajun seasoning
-
2 egg whites (beaten to blend)
-
2 teaspoons ground cumin
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme
-
1/3 cup creole mustard or 1/3 cup another grainy or spicy mustard

2/3 cup quick-cooking oatmeal
Instructions
- If you don't have a pre-made Cajun spice blend, there are several good ones on this site. Try Cajun Seasoning Mix #14190 or Cajun Seasoning #33092. Look for one that has no added salt.
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Optional Step: You can ground the oatmeal in the food processor one or two pulses. You are not looking for flour, just bits of oatmeal somewhat smaller than the whole grain.
- Combine all ingredients except mustard in large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place meat mixture in a nonstick loaf pan.
- Cover and bake 20 minutes. Scrape off any crud that may appear on the surface. Spread top with mustard.
- Bake uncovered another 35 minutes.
- Remove from pan and cut into slices.
