Title: Little Italy Pepperoni Mushroom Pizza Loaf
Categories: None
Yield: 8 Servings

1/4 c Olive oil
2 c Onions -- chopped fine
4 Cloves garlic -- minced
1 tb Oregano
1/2 ts Cayenne
1 8 oz pkg
Chopped
2 ts Salt
1 c Ketchup
2 1/2 lb Turkey -- ground
3 Egg whites
1/2 c Bread crumbs
1 ts Black pepper
1/2 lb Mozzarella cheese -- cut
Into 1/2" cubes
1 3 oz pkg
Mushrooms -- coarsely
Pepperoni -- sliced

Preheat oven at 350. Prepare a loaf pan or muffin tins with cooking spray
and flour. In a large skillet, warm oil over medium heat. Add onions,
garlic, oregano and cayenne, cover and cook, stirring once or twice, for 10
minutes. Add mushrooms and 1 teaspoon of the salt, raise the heat to
medium-high and cook uncovered, tossing and stirring the mushrooms often,
until they render their juices and are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in
1/2 cup of ketchup, remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Position
a rack in the middle of the oven. In a mixing bowl, combine the turkey,
mushroom mixture, egg whites, bread crumbs, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and
black pepper and mix thoroughly. Add the cubes of mozzarella and mix until
evenly distributed. Transfer the meat mixture to a shallow baking dish and
shape it into a flat loaf about 2 1/2" thick. Smooth the top of the loaf
or muffin tins with the back of a spoon. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup
pizza sauce evenly over the loaf. Lay pepperoni slices evenly over the
sauce, overlapping them if necessary and using them all. Bake for about 1
1/4 hours, pouring off accumulated pan juices as necessary. Let stand for
10 minutes before slicing.
