https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TACA_Flight_110 made a dead-stick landing on a grass levee with minor damage - it was later flown out (following an engine change which caused the landing in the first place)

For other confused readers:

A deadstick landing,is a type of forced landing when an aircraft loses all of its propulsive power and is forced to land. The "stick" does not refer to the flight controls, but to the traditional wooden propeller, which without power would just be a "dead stick".
