2 stalks Celery
1 medium Onion
2 each Carrots
1 medium Red bell pepper
4 lbs. Turkey, lean, ground
2 cups Rice, cooked
2 each Eggs

METHOD
Drain pear chunks. In a food processor, shred celery, onion, carrots, and red bell pepper; scrape into a large bowl. Add turkey, half the pear chunks (reserve the remaining pear chunks for topping), rice, eggs, salt and seasonings; mix well. Divide turkey mixture in two; mound each half into greased 9" x 13" pans. In each pan, form the turkey mixture into a 12" x 6" loaf. In a food processor, puree the remaining drained pear chunks with mustard, soy sauce, honey and lemon juice until it resembles applesauce. Spoon topping onto the loaf. Bake loaves at 350°F for 55 to 60 minutes. Allow to rest to 10 minutes before slicing each loaf into 12-1" thick servings. (Discard any accumulated juices.)
