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.

SAVORY & SPICY TURKEY MEATLOAF
I found this recipe on the back of some generic-brand bread crumbs a long time ago, and with some generous tweaking (including replacing the breadcrumbs with healthier oatmeal) it has become my favorite meatloaf recipe. I've made this with ground beef and ground chicken, so you don't have to use ground turkey if you'd prefer not to. As you can tell from the ingredients, this is going to be spicy, so be warned!

Tips:

- Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your turkey loaf. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, zucchini, and mushrooms.
- Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can help to add flavor and depth to your turkey loaf. Some good options include parsley, sage, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and onion powder.
- Don't overmix the meat: Overmixing the meat can make your turkey loaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Cook the turkey loaf at a moderate temperature: Cooking the turkey loaf at a moderate temperature will help to prevent it from drying out. The ideal temperature is 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the turkey loaf rest before slicing: Once the turkey loaf is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the loaf.

Turkey loaf is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover turkey. With so many different variations to choose from, there is sure to be a turkey loaf recipe that everyone will enjoy.
