Turkey Meatloaf
Meatloaf happens to be a favorite of mine, you know. Like a comfort food. I’m not terribly picky about meatloaf – heck, I even ate it at my college dining hall.
But most other people? They typically say something like, “I hate meatloaf,” or, “I can’t stand eating meatloaf.”
And so I have come to perfect my meatloaf recipes and ensure that they’re tasty, even for the most picky of eaters. To the point (I kid you not) where my children list it as one of their favorites.
No, no. I’m serious! My original version uses beef with an assortment of herbs, spices, onion and cheese stuffed in the middle. But this week I had a pound of ground turkey in the fridge that needed to be used, so I thought I’d try my hand at making a meatloaf with that instead. The biggest worry I have about using ground turkey in recipes like meatloaf, burgers or meatballs is that the end product will be dry.
There’s nothing worse than a dry meatloaf.
I was happily surprised with how the turkey meatloaf turned out – moist, well-seasoned, and just the right amount for our family of four. It’s a winner!
