MOM'S BEST EVER TURKEY MEATLOAF
This recipe was modified from one I found in a cookbook published by "The Turkey Store". My family, and everyone I have ever served it too love it and can't believe that it is low fat, low cholesterol. And recently I started substituting oatmeal for bread crumbs since my husband's doctor put him on an even stricter diet than before. It is easy, there is no need to sauté the onions, bell pepper and garlic before mixing with the rest of the ingredients. It is also moist and very tasty. I usually serve with baked sweet potatoes and fresh green beans. It makes GREAT sandwiches the next day.

BETTER THAN MOM'S MEATLOAF
My mom's classic meatloaf was lacking in flavor and the topping was way too sweet. This "better than mom's" version still has lots of old-school appeal but has been kicked up a notch with a rich and savory flavor, plus we said goodbye to the sugary sweet topping. Sliced meatloaf leftovers make the best sandwiches. I like mine with mustard, cheese, and grilled onions!

Tips:
- To ensure the meatloaf stays moist, use a combination of ground turkey and ground pork or beef.
- Soak the bread crumbs in milk before adding them to the meat mixture. This will help bind the ingredients together and prevent the meatloaf from becoming dry.
- Add vegetables to the meat mixture, such as chopped onion, celery, or carrots. This will add flavor and moisture to the meatloaf.
- Season the meat mixture generously with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will help enhance the flavor of the meatloaf.
- Bake the meatloaf in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meatloaf and prevent it from falling apart.
