Embutido Filipino (Traditional Pork Meatloaf with Hard-Boiled Eggs)

In a large bowl, mix the ground turkey, finely diced carrots, raisins, and sweet pickle relish. Season generously with salt, pepper, and a dash of soy sauce.

Shape the mixture into a tight log, rolling it in aluminum foil to seal it firmly.

Steam the log over boiling water for 45 minutes until firm to the touch and fully cooked through.

While the meatloaf steams, sauté the spinach in a pan until just wilted.

Once the Embutido is finished, let it rest for 10 minutes before unwrapping to ensure it holds its shape when sliced.

Slice the Embutido into thick rounds and serve alongside a warm portion of steamed white rice and the wilted spinach. The contrast between the sweet, dense meatloaf and the savory spinach creates the quintessential Filipino holiday dinner experience.
