How to Make Apple Turkey Loaf

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Melt 2 tablespoons of margarine in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat.
3. Add 1 medium diced green apple (about 1 cup) and 1/2 medium diced yellow onion (about 1/2 cup).
4. Cook until the onion is softened, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Let the apple and onion mixture cool slightly. Scrape into a large bowl and mix in 1.5 lbs ground turkey breast, 1 teaspoon dried sage, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 large egg whites, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, and 1/4 cup milk.
6. Gently pat the mixture into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
7. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the loaf is browned on top and no longer pink inside. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it's cooked through.
8. Let the loaf rest for 10 minutes before carefully draining any excess fat from the loaf pan. Invert the pan onto a platter to release the loaf.
