BEST TURKEY MEATLOAF
After much trial and error trying to make a more healthy meatloaf, I came up with this recipe. It is important to make this on a baking sheet so the liquids can be drained off the meatloaf. Also, do not put the topping on before the meatloaf has cooked for 30 minutes. Turkey creates a lot of juices, so if you put the topping on first it will become watery and runny.

UNBELIEVABLY MOIST TURKEY MEATLOAF
Our turkey meatloaf is full of flavor, moist in the middle, and has become a reader favorite! You would never guess this meatloaf is packed with mushrooms, but that's what makes it so darn delicious. Lots of finely chopped mushrooms add flavor and moisture, often missing from the typical turkey meatloaf. When choosing which mushrooms to add, white button mushrooms will work perfectly fine. For more flavor, try one or a combination of brown cremini, portobello, or shiitake mushrooms. The mushrooms need to be very finely chopped. You can do this by hand or use a food processor.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400° Fahrenheit. Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet (or use a 9-inch by 13-inch baking pan) lined with aluminum foil.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened; about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the mushrooms, a 1/2-teaspoon of salt, and a 1/4-teaspoon of pepper. Cook until the mushrooms give off their liquid and it boils away; about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the onions and mushrooms to a large bowl, and then stir in the Worcestershire sauce and three tablespoons of the ketchup. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the breadcrumbs and milk in a small bowl. Stir the breadcrumb mixture and the eggs into the mushrooms and onions. Using a fork or your hands, gently mix in the turkey, a 1/4-teaspoon of salt, and a 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. The mixture will be very wet.
- Form the meatloaf into a 9-inch by 5-inch oval in the middle of the prepared baking sheet. Spread the remaining four tablespoons of ketchup on top.
- Bake the meatloaf until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meatloaf registers 170 degrees F, about 50 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.

CRAZY GOOD MEATLOAF (FINALLY) !
I always liked the way my mom made meatloaf, I remember her cleaning out the frig to make it. But it always seemed like the more I added the less it tasted like I wanted it to. Finally I think I've come up with the perfect recipe for our taste. I did add a pinch of Caribbean Rub, (Not caribbean jerk) which added a savory hint, but it is not absolutely necessary. (See my Caribbean Coleslaw Masterpiece recipe for an explanation about what to use for a good Caribbean Rub if you decide to include it). I Loved the way the glaze turned out! I think the thing I enjoyed most in this batch was the addition of the cabbage, we all Really enjoyed it. The amounts are estimates, so use your best judgment as you build it. I made this batch in muffin tins, which is a fun way to do it sometimes, when you want it to cook a little quicker, and want things portioned, it also allows each serving to have a bit more glaze, & makes it a little easier to freeze and pull out individual portions.
