BEST TURKEY MEATLOAF



Best Turkey Meatloaf image

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.

CREOLE MEAT LOAF



Creole Meat Loaf image

This meat loaf is not spicy, despite the name. It is a mix of ground beef and pork, with a nice creole sauce on top. It originally came from an old Southern Living cookbook, but the recipe has been changed significantly since its publication. If you would like, put the cheese of your choice on the meatloaf before adding the creole sauce. Also, feel free to substitute creole seasoning for the salt and pepper!
