Ingredients

Meatloaf:

1 pound ground turkey

8 ounces ground pork

1/2 cup diced onions

1/2 cup tomato paste

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

1 tablespoon turmeric

1 tablespoon cumin

1 tablespoon smoked paprika

1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

2 large eggs

Mashed Potatoes:

4 Idaho russet potatoes, peeled

1 cup heavy cream

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter

3 tablespoons truffle oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Cherry Tomato Jam:

1/2 cup diced onions

2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger

1 sprig fresh rosemary

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 cup sherry vinegar

3 tablespoons tomato paste

2 tablespoons brown sugar

12 cherry tomatoes

Directions

For the meatloaf: Combine the turkey, pork, onions, tomato paste, flour, garlic, dill, turmeric, cumin, smoked paprika, cinnamon and eggs in a large bowl. Let rest, refrigerated, for 10 to 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Form the meatloaf mixture into 12 balls and put 1 ball in each cup of a 12-cup cupcake or muffin tin. Bake until the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees F, 25 to 30 minutes.
For the mashed potatoes: Put the potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes, put back in the pot and add the cream, butter, truffle oil and salt and pepper to taste. Mash until smooth; do not over-work as the potatoes will become gummy. If the potatoes are too wet, cook over low heat until a smooth consistency is achieved.
For the cherry tomato jam: Sweat the onions, ginger and rosemary with the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the sherry vinegar, tomato paste, brown sugar and cherry tomatoes and simmer until the liquid is reduced by one-third, 7 to 8 minutes
To serve, put each meatloaf cupcake on a plate, ice with some mashed potato icing and top off with a dollop of the cherry tomato jam.
