Turkish Meatloaf

This is great served with spinach and mashed sweet potatoes or butternut squash.

2 lbs lean ground beef (8% fat)
1 cup bread crumbs
  (I used brown rice bread since I 
   don't eat wheat)
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/4 cup raisins, chopped
1 small onion, minced
2 Tablespoons fresh minced herbs:
  may include any combination of
  parsley, mint, and cilantro
1 egg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1-3 Tablespoons water

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Mix together the above ingredients, adding the tablespoons of water gradually, just enough to moisten it until it's soft enough to easily form.   Divide the mixture into two parts, and form each half into a log shape on a foil-lined baking sheet.  Bake until the meatloaves are browned and cooked through, approximately 45 minutes.
