Form into an oval loaf in a large rectangular baking dish which has been sprayed with vegetable cooking spray. (I used Pyrex.)

I adapted this loosely from a recipe I had gotten off the internet several years ago, and made it for Friday night dinner. Everyone gave it a thumbs up, and I will certainly make it again. It was very moist, tasty, and easy to prepare. I would have liked to use all white meat ground chicken (or turkey) to lower the fat content (the ground chicken I used was 7% fat by weight), but couldn't find any in the supermarket. However, some of the fat did render out while cooking, and I was able to drain it off.
