Enjoy the lighter side of meatloaf. (Photo: Zoeytoja / Shutterstock)
YIELD: SERVES 4-6
PREP TIME: 30 MINUTES
COOK TIME: 1 HOUR, 15 MINUTES
This lightened up meatloaf recipe merges two foods that partner beautifully – turkey and cranberry. Add a few handfuls of spinach, some delicious, aromatic caramelized onions, and you’ve got a dish that’s worth writing home about. My son’s eyes got big when he tasted the first bite of this winning recipe – and although he says he’s still a die-hard red meat fan, it passed his taste test with flying colors.
INGREDIENTS
Meatloaf:
2 pounds ground turkey
2 eggs
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 onions, diced
Olive oil
4 cups baby spinach, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Glaze:
1 can whole cranberry sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°. Heat olive oil in frying pan. Add diced onions, and cook until caramelized, stirring occasionally.
Beat eggs, and add ketchup, spinach, salt, pepper and ground meat. Set aside.
In a small pot, mix cranberry sauce, ketchup, sugar and vinegar to make glaze. Bring to a boil, and then cook 5 minutes on low heat.
Add about 1/2 cup of cranberry glaze and the caramelized onions to the meat mixture. Mix well.
Transfer meat mixture to an oversized loaf pan, or two small ones. (I used a 5x8 deep loaf pan).
Cover with remaining cranberry glaze.
Bake for one hour. Remove from oven, and carefully pour off extra liquids. Return to oven for another 10 minutes, and then raise heat to broil for last 5 minutes. (If using two small loaf pans, reduce initial cooking time from one hour to just 40 minutes, then continue with directions.)
Serve warm.

The easiest way to open a Coconut is to whisper it a joke & it will crack up with laughter
Of course, the Conservatives (Tories) must share the blame for this, as they have been totally ineffective at stopping the flood of legal and illegal Muslim immigrants into the country.
Daily Mail Author and political advisor Ed Husain, who wrote this article, was himself radicalized in his youth and trained for Jihad by the same people as Omar Khyam, leader of the Bluewater bombers, grew up in a Bangladeshi family in the British No Go Zone of Tower Hamlets.
Husian chronicled conversations with taxi drivers, business owners, imams and local white people about the mosques and the surrounding community, painting a worrying picture of divided communities – with white people in towns across the country admitting there are ‘no-go areas’ where they fear being physically attacked.
One man in Blackburn said Muslims repeatedly ‘jumped’ his 12-year-old son in broad daylight for ‘being white’. Areas like Bolton, Dewsbury and Black are described ‘a different universe’, while he observes that in parts of the cities he has visited: ‘A Muslim can spend months with no contact whatsoever with mainstream ‘white’ Britain’.
Elsewhere, parents in Bradford Muslim parents have banned children from taking part in drama, theatre and dance classes as well as drawing, in echoes of rules implemented by the Taliban in Afghanistan and ISIS in Syria. They are ‘physically in Britain but mentally living elsewhere,’ said Husain.
BLACKBURN: WHITE MEN FEAR VIOLENCE IF THEY ENTER ‘NO-GO’ AREAS
Among the areas Ed visited was Blackburn, which has the highest Muslim population outside of London, the global hub for the Deobandis and the Tablighi Jamaat.
Almost half the mosques in the UK are controlled by the Deobandis, the ultra-orthodox version of the faith, which created the Taliban in Afghanistan, while the Tablighi Jamaat espouses a return to ‘true’ Islam as observed by the Prophet Mohammed.
‘If we go to Whalley Range at night-time, we’re guaranteed to get jumped. We won’t walk out of it. We won’t walk to the other end of the street.’ They also claimed the council for Blackburn with Darwen would ‘threaten you with eviction’ for flying the English flag’ and called it ‘racist.’
He discovered copies of Bahishti Zewar, which insists that it is a sin to ‘enjoy dancing and listening to music’ and to ‘like and be attracted to the customs of the kuffar [unbelievers]’.
He also uncovered Mukhtasar al-Quduri: A Manual of Islamic Law, which cites: ‘When a girl reaches puberty, it is not appropriate that any of her should be seen, excepting her face, and her hands up to the wrists.’
BRADFORD: LOCALS FEAR IT WILL BECOME AN ‘APARTHEID CITY’ WITHIN 30 YEARS
In nearby Bradford, Ed was amazed by the lack of white English people in the city, and asked a Muslim taxi driver ‘where they are’. He was told they had all ‘gone with the wind.’
According to the author, there were mosques ‘on almost every corner’, with Ed writing: ‘Then there are houses that also serve as mosques and madrasas , banners affixed to their façades.’
Ed learned that Muslim parents living in the area had forbidden their children from taking part in drama, theatre and dance classes as well as drawing.
He also visited The Islam Bradford Centre and heard a sermon from an Imam who commands worshipers to avoid the ‘innovations of the modern world.’
After visiting an Islamic bookstore he discovered works glorifying violent jihad by Sayyid Qutb, the Egyptian godfather of Islamist terror and an acknowledged influence on Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda.
DEWSBURY: FEELS LIKE A ‘DIFFERENT COUNTRY AND CENTURY WHERE WOMEN AREN’T ALLOWED OUTSIDE WITHOUT HUSBAND’S PERMISSION
The Markazi Mosque mosque, one of the largest mosques in Europe with space for 4,000 people, is controlled by the Deobandis.
There were no spaces allocated for women to pray, with a cleric telling Ed: ‘There can be no discussion of there being women in the mosque. This would be a temptation for many.’
Local bookshops sold pamphets and books promoting the separation and suppression of women, with one even outlining how women shouldn’t leave the house without their husband’s permission. It read: ‘When a woman leaves her home without her husband’s consent then all the angels of the skies and the entire universe curse her for this act until she returns home.’
Ed called it ‘the culture of caliphism’, explaining: ‘The Tableeghi Jamaat separates itself from secular society, and preaches from door to door, to create a Muslim society from which a caliphate is expected eventually to emerge.’
DIDSBURY: SHARIA COURT WITHIN THE MOSQUE – WHICH WAS ONCE A CHURCH
During a trip to Didsbury, he visited the town’s mosque, which was a church before it was purchased in 1967 by Syrian Arabs. He came across people hauling banners and Palestinian flags into the mosque and, once inside, found posters urging support for an aid organisation accused of links with extremists.
Meanwhile he also discovered a sign for the ‘Sharia Department’, which deals with divorces and marriages, and any disputes and other issues that Muslims want to take to sharia.
One of the books on display in the mosque was by Khurshid Ahmad, an ideologue of the Jamaat-e-Islami and other Islamist groups in Pakistan who has advocated for the creation of an Islamic state. Ahmad has referred to members of al-Qaeda as ‘brethren’ and refused to acknowledge their role in the 9/11 attacks.
Among those who have worshiped at the mosque in the past is Salman Abedi, who detonated a suicide bomb killing 22 at an Ariana Grande concert in the city.
MANCHESTER: OFFICIAL FOR COUNCIL SAYS REFUGEES ARE ‘TROUBLED BY PEACE’ AND ‘WANT TO SEEK REVENGE FOR WRONGS’
Ed met with a long-time friend, Faiza, whom he had spoken to for years about issues in the Muslim community, including the decision to wear a full face veil. However she felt she was unable to meet Ed alone without a chaperone, so her husband joined them for the meeting.
She stated that one of the University of Manchester’s two prayer facilities for Muslim students was dominated by a Salafi extremist preacher.
Ed also met with Mahfuz Alimain*, a senior official at Manchester Council. He told him refugees often struggle to adjust to life in Manchester because they are so accustomed to the violence of their own countries.
‘Peace in Manchester troubles them; they feel they need to seek revenge and justice for the wrongs done to them in their countries.’
THE CONSERVATIVE MUSLIM DEOBANDI SECT WHICH DESCRIBES CHRISTIANS AND JEWS AS ‘REPULSIVE’ HAS BECOME THE MOST POPULAR IN UK
A hardline Islamic movement, whose leading UK imam preaches anti-Semitism and calls on Muslims to “shed blood for Allah”, is controlling almost half of Britain’s mosques, a police report has found. The influence of the ultra-conservative Deobandi sect, which is characterised by its total rejection of western values, has grown to such an extent that police now believe it runs more than 600 of Britain’s 1,350 mosques.
The Deobandi- controlled mosques are predominantly found in the Midlands and the North – such as the Tablighi Jamaat mosque which 7/7 bombers Mohammad Sidique Khan and Shehzad Tanweer were known to attend.
The Deobandi sect was founded 150 years ago in south Asia and Deobandi seminaries produce 80 per cent of UK-trained Islamic clerics. Leaders in the sect tend to promote a conservative interpretation of Islam. One Deobandi scholar, Masood Azhar, drew adoring crowds on a visit to Britain in the 1990s where he urged young people to ‘prepare for jihad’, and is now wanted for his involvement in a deadly attack on an Indian military base.
A website promoting the Deobandi sect says loyalty is owed only to the global brotherhood of Muslims while integration into British society is denounced. It states that to befriend a non-Muslim risks pollution while those considering marrying a Christian or Jew are warned that their ‘repulsive qualities will filter into Muslim homes’.
It adds that a woman’s place is in the home and urges Muslims to reject unIslamic acts such as music, singing, dancing, watching television, playing chess, reading novels watching drama and watching football.
GLASGOW: CHILDREN FORCED TO WEAR HIJABS AS UNIFORM TO ‘COVER THEIR PRIVATE PARTS
The author travelled to Glasgow to visit several mosques, including the Central Mosque, in the city. On the wall was an advertisement for a lecture by Shaykh Ahmad Ali, a British scholar of the Deobandi movement, which agreed with the theology of not allowing people to insult the Prophet.
Later, he visited Dawate-Islami madrasa, a mosque in another part of the city. There, young girls were required to wear all black burkas as uniform to cover their ‘private parts’.
‘The group believe their historical mandate is to oppose any insult to the Prophet, and they use hadith, sayings attribute to Mohamed, to support this claim.
‘Pakistan’s blasphemy laws also support this interpretation and are often used against Ahmadis as well as Christians, with sanctions ranging in severity from fines to the death penalty.’
BIRMINGHAM: MUSLIMS ‘SAY THEY ARE WAITING FOR SHARIA GOVERNMENT’
While visiting Birmingham, Ed met with two friends who had recently moved to the country from Saudi Arabia. They told him they ‘can’t change their religion to suit Britain’, with one, Ahmed, saying: ‘I have no government. We are waiting for our government of the sharia to return again, headed by a caliph.’
Nearby highstreets are lined with shops selling hijabs for young girls and books with extreme arguments, including one which states: ‘Women cannot be equal to men’ and another which insists: ‘The emergence of the woman from her home is like the emergence of Shaitaan [Satan] himself.’
At the Birmingham’s Central Mosque, he found an advertisement for a ‘sisters only’ Summer Fayre at a nearby girls’ school which forbid boys from over the age of 10 to attend.
Officials allege that a man committed armed robbery on a Chicago sidewalk before chowing down on a stolen takeout order of fried chicken in the victim’s car, according to a report.
James Taylor, 20, was arrested around 1:30 a.m. Saturday morning in the 4500 block of S Calumet Ave on charges of armed robbery with a firearm, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, aggravated possession of a stolen vehicle, and possession of a lost debit card, an arrest record indicates.
Citing officials, CWB Chicago reported that Taylor allegedly approached the victim when the man was returning to his home with fried chicken:
Taylor interrupted him to ask for a light, but the victim said he didn’t have one and kept walking.
Taylor then tapped the man on the shoulder. When the victim turned around, Taylor was pointing a pistol at his face, prosecutor Kenneth Flesch said. The victim handed over his keys, $2 in cash, a debit card, and the fried chicken.
Taylor, according to Flesch, climbed into the victim’s car and went to work on the chicken while the victim dialed 911. Police arrested Taylor a few minutes later.
Taylor is currently in Cook County Jail awaiting a February 22 court date. He is being held on a $150,000 bond, an inmate record indicates.
CWB Chicago noted armed robbery carries a minimum sentence of 21 years but because of Taylor’s previously clean record, it wouldn’t be unusual for him to be offered a more lenient plea deal.
The Chicago Police Department’s crime statistics show that robberies from January 1, 2023, through February 12 are up 23 percent compared to the same period in 2022, and 26 percent from 2021. All of the seven major felony offenses have increased numbers compared to the same period in 2022, except for murder, which has dropped by 22 percent.
In an unrelated incident in October, as Breitbart News noted, an 18-year-old man allegedly entered an apartment in Indiana and attempted to rob the residents at gunpoint. The three alleged victims reportedly fought back.
Police say the trio succeeded in disarming the man, at which point he allegedly pulled another gun and fired. Police say one of the residents then used his own gun to hold the alleged robber until law enforcement arrived.

A gang responsible for a series of terrifying robberies at knifepoint in South West London have been convicted after police recovered a phone with members posing with stolen Rolex watches.
The group used a stolen BMW with false plates to carry out their crimes, threatening their victims with large knives and machetes before stealing items including watches and bags. None of the stolen property has been recovered.
The Met's Flying Squad tracked the gang down after a high-speed car chase with two of the members which saw them escape police but leave their valuables behind in the BMW.
This included a phone belonging to one member with gloating photos of the gang posing with their stolen goods.
The phone allowed officers to identify the pair who fled the car and their fellow members. Officers also recovered a large machete used in the robberies.
Michael Malik Ahmed 28, pleaded guilty to six counts of robbery – four on December 21, 2021, and two on January 9, 2022, following a joint operation by the Flying Squad and a local robbery team.
He was also found guilty of possessing an offensive weapon used in the attacks, as well as dangerous driving at a trial which concluded on Monday.
At the same trial, Kaijuan Henry, 19, was found guilty of being involved in the December robberies, while Jessy Ouma, 18, was found guilty of being involved in the robberies on January 9.
Zakariah Yusuf, 18, Joseph Opoku, 19, and Roshan Clark, 18, previously pleaded guilty to being involved. Sentencing will take place on a future date.
Detective Sergeant Gary Taylor, from the Met's Flying Squad, said: 'These men carried out multiple violent robberies which left many of those targeted fearing for their lives.
'Their attacks were brazen, took place on busy streets and I have no doubt they would have gone on to commit further crimes if they had not been quickly caught.
'We know the impact these crimes have on each and every victim and our team worked tirelessly to ensure we identified those responsible and brought them to justice.
'Those who live in and visit our city should not have to go about their daily lives in fear of thieves.
'Sadly we know there has been a rise in these types of offences and we would urge people to remain aware of their surroundings and where possible to keep valuables out of sight.'
The gang was brought to justice when victims provided police with the car's registration number.
Officers spotted the BMW at the junction of Balham High Road and Chestnut Grove soon after.
Specialist officers pursued the vehicle, which crashed into a wooden fence near the junction of Dornton Road and Culverdon Road.
The occupants of the car fled from the scene and into an estate. Despite a foot chase, police were unable to find them.
In their rush to escape, Ahmed left his house keys, phone and a bank card in the car while Yusuf left his jacket and phone.
A large machete used in the robberies was also found in the vehicle, as was a tracksuit top with distinctive markings which matched the clothing worn by Ahmed when he was caught on CCTV at a petrol station.
When Ouma was arrested, officer seized and examined his phone. This revealed photos of Henry and Clark celebrating their robberies by wearing a number of the stolen watches.
Forensic evidence and cell site data also linked the defendants to the crimes.
DS Taylor added: 'We are pleased that a dangerous gang has been taken off our streets and our city will be safer now that these six men are facing a considerable period behind bars.
'This case also shows the importance of reporting a robbery as soon as it happens and we would urge anyone who is the victim of a similar crime, or anyone who sees a robbery taking place, to call us immediately.
'This makes a significant impact on our ability to catch those responsible and prevent them from causing any further harm.'
