This meatloaf is delicious with a delightful herby flavor. It's a fun alternative to the typical bacon-BBQ flavor profile associated with more traditional meatloaves.

  • 2 pounds Ramstead ground beef
  • 1/2 pound Ramstead ground pork
  • 1 cup minced onion
  • 1/2 cup catsup
  • 1/2 cup seasoned dry breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil

RECIPE: Cooking Pasture Raised Turkey

Before diving into the recipe details, there are two keys to success you want to adhere to when cooking pasture raised turkey vs “organic” or conventionally raised birds. 1) Plan to cook your bird at 325˚F for 12-15 min. per lb. 2) While the recommended safe cooking temperature of poultry is 165˚F, connoisseurs tell us that 145˚F is a better internal temperature to target. Your dark meat will be fully cooked, and the breast meat will be moist and delicious. Your pasture raised turkey will be incredibly delicious if you don’t overcook it.

RECIPE: Quiche for All Occasions

I think quiche is underappreciated in American homes. It is a super flexible dish that you can eat hot out of the oven, cold on a picnic, or pretty much anywhere in between. It is great for breakfast, lunch or dinner, and can basically be stuffed with anything you have on hand and be delicious!
