ingredients

1 cup Bulgar wheat
2 ¹⁄₄ cups water
2 lbs ground turkey
1 large yellow onion, peeled and minced
¹⁄₂ medium red peppers (optional) or 1/2 medium green pepper, cored, seeded and minced (optional)
3 eggs
1 1 cup milk (the broth and water will make a softer, moister loaf than the milk which coagulates as the meatloaf) or 1 cup water (the broth and water will make a softer, moister loaf than the milk which coagulates as the meatloaf)
¹⁄₄ 1/4 cup tomato paste or 1/4 cup tomato sauce
³⁄₄ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₄ teaspoon pepper
¹⁄₄ teaspoon crumbled dried marjoram
¹⁄₄ teaspoon dried thyme leaves

directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Boil the bulgur gently in the water in a covered saucepan for 20 to 25 minutes, until fluffy-tender.
Cook for 15 minutes, then mix with remaining ingredients, using your hands.
Pack into a well-greased 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan and bake uncovered for 1 1/2 hours or until the loaf is nicely browned and pulls slightly from the sides of the pan. Cool the loaf upright in its pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes, then turn out and serve.
You can wait less than 30 minutes for it to cook, but it has a tendency to fall apart.
Still tastes good though!
