Turkey Meatloaf (Apologies for the not so artistic picture, my parents were hungry :) ) Ingredients: 2 packages of Turkey Ground meat 1/4 cup of onion flakes 2 tbsp of garlic powder 2 tbsp of pepper 2 tbsp of salt 3 tbsp of italian seasoning 4 eggs 5 cups of cornflakes, crushed Directions: 1. Whisk the 4 eggs in a bowl. Add the turkey meat. 2. Add all the dry ingredients. Mix, preferably with your hands. They are the best instruments to a cook! 3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. 4. Spray cooking spray on a baking sheet. Form the log and enjoy the aroma of the spices! 5. Cook for 30-35 minutes. Enjoy! One can also make meatballs using the same recipe but of course molding them into tiny meat-balls instead. :) It would go great with pasta as well! ** You can use meat alternatives, but I suggest using different spices depending on the meat you use to bring out more flavor. Maybe herb de provence would go great with chicken ground meat, something with cumin and pepper for beef, and so on and so forth. Possibilities are always endless! This is something that would be interesting to try and cook with children around. My cousins always were very interested in cooking when they were 3-5 years old (I took care of them a lot when they were younger). They loved being on step ladders and mashing, whisking and smelling the ingredients we would put on the food. Cooking is a good way to introduce a lot of concepts to children like temperature, health and sanitation, spices, fruits and vegetables and so on and so forth. Sometimes it gets the job done easier, but sometimes it does take a little bit more time to cook with children in the kitchen. My verdict? It’s worth it! I learned a lot of cooking skills from my mother and maternal grandmother so it’s a bit cool to pass it on to my younger cousins and other youth and friends my age through the years.  So, make cooking fun and try cooking with kids or youth, or maybe your parents or siblings! There’s no time like quality time, so get creative!
