Italian Christmas Turkey – Tacchino Natalizio Italiano
Scorri a basso per l’Italiano Serves: 10 or more Finding a turkey large enough for our big Christmas dinner is hard to find in Italy.

Scorri a basso per l’italiano Serves: 2 This was a small meatloaf I had in the freezer from when I made my Spaghetti e Polpette which the meat mixture allowed for 12 meatballs, some baby meatballs and this meatloaf for two.

Today I filled mine with thin slices of roast beef and scamorza cheese. Truly delicious! Ingredients 450 gr potato
