1/2 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 c. whole-berry cranberry sauce
2 lbs. ground chicken or turkey
3/4 c. evaporated milk
2 tbsp. bottled steak sauce
2 tbsp. ketchup
1 tsp. prepared mustard
3/4 c. cracker crumbs
2 eggs
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp. garlic powder (or to taste)
2 tbsp. diced onion

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch loaf pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the bottom of the pan. Spread the cranberry sauce evenly over the sugar; set aside. In a large bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients; mix thoroughly. Shape mixture into loaf and set in pan on top of cranberry sauce. Pat down top of loaf until smooth and firm. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until done. Let set in pan for about 5 minutes, then invert loaf onto a serving platter.

NOTE: The sugar and the cranberry sauce combine to make a rich sweet and sour topping. 4 to 6 servings.
