2 tbsp. olive oil
2 cups finely chopped sweet onions
3/4 lb. shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded and chopped (4 cups)
1 tbsp. finely chopped garlic
1 tsp. salt, divided
1 tsp. pepper, divided
2 tbsp. chopped fresh thyme
2 lb. ground turkey
1 1/2 cups fine fresh bread crumbs
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup ketchup, divided (Hunts)
3 large eggs
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp. hot red pepper sauce
12 slices bacon, halved crosswise (3/4 lb.)
Tomato Sauce

In large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook 6 minutes until translucent.

Add mushrooms, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook 5 minutes.

Add thyme; cook 1 minute until fragrant. Transfer mixture to large bowl; let cool to room temperature.

Add turkey, bread crumbs, cheese, 1/2 cup ketchup, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, pepper sauce and remaining 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Mix with hands just until all ingredients are combined.

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line shallow roasting pan with foil for easy cleanup. Using scant 1 cup turkey mixture per loaf, shape into 8 oval loaves, directly on prepared pan, each about 4 1/2 x 3-inches. Wrap 3 half slices bacon over top and sides of each loaf to cover.

Bake 30 minutes. Brush tops with remaining 1/4 cup ketchup.

Bake 10 minutes until internal temperature of loaves registers 170°F.

Preheat broiler. Place roasting pan under broiler 2 to 3 minutes, rotating pan, to brown bacon on top.

To serve, spoon Tomato Sauce onto each plate. Top with meat loaf.

Makes 8 servings.
