MEATLOAF 
3 slices bread
Water
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
1 sm. onion, finely chopped
1/4 c. finely chopped celery
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/3 c. milk
1 lb. lean ground beef or ground turkey
1/4 c. ketchup

In a small bowl, soak bread in water to cover 5 minutes. Squeeze out excess water. In a large bowl, combine bread, garlic, onion, celery, salt, pepper, egg, and milk. Stir until well blended. Crumble ground beef into bread mixture and stir to combine thoroughly. Shape meat mixture into a loaf and place in a shallow heat-resistant, non-metallic baking dish. Heat, uncovered, in microwave oven for 7 minutes. Turn 1/2 turn after half of cooking time. Spread ketchup over top and heat, uncovered, 6-8 minutes or until done. Turn 1/2 turn after half of cooking time. Allow to stand, covered, 3-5 minutes before serving.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
