1/2 cup boiling water
1/3 cup couscous
1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 lb. ground turkey breast
1 egg white
In a small bowl, combine the water and couscous. Cover the bowl and allow the mixture to stand 15 to 20 minutes, or until couscous has absorbed all of the water. In a small non-stick skillet, over medium-high heat, saute red bell pepper, thyme, curry powder, cumin, allspice, ginger, salt, black pepper, paprika and cayenne pepper in oil, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool. Spray a 9-inch pie plate or a 8 x 4 x 2-inch loaf pan with vegetable cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine turkey, egg white, bell pepper mixture and couscous. Shape the mixture into a round or rectangular loaf and place it in the plate or pan. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the meat thermometer reads between 160 and 165 degrees F. when inserted into the center of the meat and the juices run clear.
