Why this recipe works
A shallow loaf cooks more evenly
Three servings without sauce or sides. Use a tin about 18 × 10 cm and keep raw mixture no deeper than 3 cm. The meat is skinless turkey breast without added fat, not any commercial mince blend.

Method

1
Prepare
Soak oats in milk about 5 minutes. Finely grate carrot and chop onion very finely. Keep meat chilled until mixing. Do not wash raw poultry. Clean hands and utensils after handling raw meat.
-
2
Mix and shape
Mix briefly but thoroughly with meat, egg, mustard, salt and pepper. Oil tin and spread evenly. Do not heap into a tall round loaf; smooth top. Use a heatproof dish suitable for the appliance, leaving space around it for airflow. Do not preheat with loose paper.
-
3
Cook
If required by the manufacturer, preheat for 3 minutes at 160 °C. Cook about 35 minutes at 160 °C. Measure thickest centre, not the hot tin. Extend as needed; a brown top does not replace temperature checks. Check that the thickest part reaches at least 70 °C for 2 minutes; continue cooking if needed.

4
Check and serve
Remove with gloves and slice carefully. Serve any meat juices from the tin. Pale turkey colour is no reason to leave the centre pink.
