Okay, so I know meatloaf sounds so southern and like a total 50’s mom recipe…you may be right, but I’m totally here for it.
Meatloaf is a dinner that has been around for years, but I’m here to put a small spin on it.
A few weeks ago, I was CRAVING meatloaf, but I didn’t have any ground beef in my freezer; however, I did have turkey. So I thought, okay so it won’t be as good, but maybe it’ll suffice.
I was proven so wrong!
Turkey meatloaf is now my new favorite and let me tell you why…
It’s not nearly as fatty. It crisps up nicely. And it’s by far the most flavorful because it’s not overpowered by the “meaty” flavor that ground beef carries.
So without further ado, here’s my recipe for turkey meatloaf…
