Ingredients

Meatloaf:

3/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 ounce dried mushrooms shiitake or porcini
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups yellow onion chopped
4 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon tomato paste
5 pounds ground turkey
1 1/2 cups dried plain bread crumbs
1 cups grated Parmesan cheese
3 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
3 eggs beaten

Topping:

1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar firmly packed
2 teaspoons dried mustard
1 teaspoon dried ginger
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
couple drops of hot sauce

Instructions

Preheat oven 325º (163ºC).
Microwave chicken broth and mushrooms in a partially covered bowl for 1 minute. Remove from microwave and allow to sit and soften, about 5 minutes. Pour mushrooms through a fine mesh sieve and reserve broth. Chop the mushrooms. Set aside.
In a large saute pan, over medium-low heat, add onions, garlic, chopped mushrooms, thyme, salt, and pepper, and saute until the onion is very soft and translucent about 12-15 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire Sauce, reserved chicken broth, and tomato paste and mix well. Remove from heat and cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, gelatin, eggs, and cooled onion mixture until well mixed. Shape into a rectangular loaf on a large rimmed baking sheet.
In a small mixing bowl, mix together ketchup, brown sugar, dried mustard, ginger, liquid smoke, and hot sauce. Spread the ketchup mixture evenly over the top and sides of the meatloaf.
Bake meatloaf in a preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours or until meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees (71ºC).
