"French" meat loaf

4 lg eggs (3 hard boiled, 1 for the mix)
1 1/4 pounds ground turkey (you can use any ground meat)
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 carrot coarsely grated
1 granny smith apple peeled and coarsely grated (i never bother with the peeling)
4 scallions thin sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
For the top
3 tablespoons apricot preserves
1 tablespoon ketchup

combine the egg, turkey, carrot, apple, scallions and curry powder
spoon 1/2 (or a little less) into 9x5 loaf pan
make lengthwise trench and place the 3 (i use 4 sometimes) peeled hard boiled eggs in trench
cover with the remaining turkey, make sure eggs are covered
blend apricot preserves and ketchup brush (pour) on top

Bake at 350 45-55 minutes
let stand 5 minutes before pouring off any liquid

I know this one sounds weird... but it is one of my current favorites! (if cut into 8 slices each one has about 165 calories)
