History and origin of turkey loaf
Turkey loaf is a traditional preparation with its roots in American home cooking, especially related to Thanksgiving celebrations. This recipe was used to repurpose leftovers from roasted turkey to transform the ingredients into a new and delicious dish, preventing food waste.
In different Latin American countries, this dish may be known by various names or adapted to local ingredients. For example, in Mexico it is often served as part of formal and occasional dinners under the name "turkey meatloaf," while in countries like Colombia or Argentina it is more commonly found as a terrine or turkey pudding preparation.
