Turkey Quinoa Loaf - Made with Chicken - Served with Cranberry Orange Sauce

I used to be freaked out by ground chicken. The thought of it just didn't sit right with me. Chicken is supposed to be served as a breast, not ground up. Because of this cookbook I have ventured into new territories when it comes to cooking. I would never have chosen a ground chicken recipe 5 months ago but since almost everything I've made from the cookbook is delicious I decided to give it a try. And you know what? It was fine. I enjoyed it and would even make it again. As far as flavor is concerned this meal is a little tamer then most in the book. But that's ok. You don't need to get punched in the face with flavor every night of the week.

SERVED WITH: Asparagus and mini carrots. I was having a lazy night so I ended up with a weird combination of food for dinner. Some mashed potatoes would have been nice. Even a simple salad. I did however make some cranberry orange sauce to go with it. I found it a little bitter. It would be fine without it or with a tiny bit of ketchup (Ketchup is a read light items so be careful!)

COOKING TIPS: The good thing about this meal is you can assemble it the night before and just pop it in the oven when you get home. It does take about one hour to cook so it would make a nice Sunday evening meal.

RATING: 7. I was not overly fond of the flavor of sage and would try something like oregano next time.
