Herbed Turkey Loaf Sandwiches Recipe - Cooking Index
Since we use very small amounts of tomato paste in our recipes, it's wasteful to purchase a can of tomato paste -- instead, we buy a 4.5-ounce tube of imported tomato paste. It's available in virtually any large supermarket and will keep for 6 months in the refrigerator, ready to squeeze out in small amounts.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add onion, carrot, zucchini, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook over medium heat, covered, until vegetables wilt, about 5 minutes, stirring twice during the cooking time.
In a large bowl, combine the turkey, cooked vegetables, egg substitute, herbs, mustard, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and rolled oats. Stir to combine. Add pepper to taste. Form mixture into a loaf and place in an oven-proof baking dish.
Spray the top of the loaf with cooking spay and place bay leaves on top of the loaf, gently pressing down. Bake for 1 hour or until done. Allow to cool, then refrigerate.
Slice into very thin slices, discarding the bay leaves, and place on a platter surrounded by tomatoes, lettuce, and pickles. Serve with quartered pita rounds and mustard.
