Servings: 1; Prep Time: 1 hour

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground turkey

• 2 tbsp of tomato paste

• 1 egg

• 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs + 1-2 tbsp to bind together (you do not want mixture too wet)

• 1/4 cup diced chives (make sure it is just the green parts)

• 1 tsp garlic oil

• 1 tbsp soy sauce

• 2 tsp oregano

• 1/2 tsp paprika

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.

2. Get out a large bowl and add all ingredients to the bowl. Stir and mash with a fork until cohesive mixture. Make sure that mixture is not too weight, may need to add more bread crumbs to bring together.

3. Grease a small loaf pan.

4. Add turkey mixture to the loaf pan and flatten with a fork or spatula.
