Ingredients

Vegetables

1-pound green string beans
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 pinch kosher salt

Stuffing

1 box prepared stuffing mix

Meatloaf

2 lbs ground turkey
½ cup breadcrumbs
2 eggs
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp fennel seeds (or your favourite seasonings!)
½ tsp cracked black peppercorns
½ tsp fresh parsley

To serve

¼ cup large olives , torn
¼ cup roasted red peppers,
½ cup black bean garlic sauce, or your favourite bbq sauce

Equipment

Heavy duty aluminum foil

TIP: Feel free to play around with quick cooking vegetables for this! A can of corn kernels, shallots, peppers as a bed for the meatloaf would also be great. Garnishes are really up to you as well! I love a bite that has something a bit sweet and a bit briny and a bit fresh -- hence the parsley, olive and roasted red peppers. Cater to your own tastes!

Directions

Toss the green beans in the olive oil to coat, and season with a pinch of kosher salt. Set aside.
Prepare the box of stuffing as per box directions, Set aside.
Mix all the meatloaf ingredients thoroughly in a big mixing bowl. Divide into four equal portions.
Lay out double layers of heavy duty aluminum foil, shiny side inwards.
Divide up the green beans into equal portions, and distribute them into the middle of each foil package.
Taking one portion of the meatloaf mixture at a time, divide it in two. Shape the bottom half into a disc shape, lay on top of the green beans. Fill the middle with 1/4 cup of prepared stuffing. Top with the remaining half of the meat, making sure to seal the sides firmly together.
Repeat with the 3 other portions of meatloaf mixture.
Seal the foil packets by folding the long ends together, and rolling down. Then fold up each of the top and bottom ends.
If cooking over a fire, start at the hottest part of the fire for 5 minutes or so, then remove to indirect heat for the remainder of the time, approximately 20 minutes or until the turkey reaches 165 F.
If pre-cooking in the oven to reheat over the fire, cook for 25 minutes at 425 F, and finish on the fire at its hottest part for 5 minutes right before serving.
Once cooked, carefully open packets and brush generously with the black bean garlic sauce or your favourite BBQ sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley, torn olives and roasted red peppers. Enjoy!
