GROUND TURKEY TACO MEAT
This recipe has fewer calories because of the ground turkey and amazing flavor! It is a little spicy, but our family enjoys it this way. Because it has so much flavor, you cannot even tell it's not ground beef. It tastes great as a topping on baked potatoes as well as tacos. Enjoy!

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.

TACO TURKEY MEATLOAF
Ground turkey makes this meatloaf lighter and healthier; cheese and taco seaoning make it delicious. From betterrecipes.com. Again altered even further for calorie and fat content. You might not be able to find whole wheat bread crumbs. I usually de-crust 1-2 slices of whole wheat bread and dry in the oven and then crumble. The last two ingerdients are for the topping. Easily halved or even cut into thirds.

TACO MEATLOAF
I like meatloaf, my DH likes tacos. We both LOVED this recipe! Found in TOH "Comfort Foods Book **Updated to add -- I have done a few revisions on this recipe to include a different pan size for the "boil over" issue. I have also found that if turkey and beef are combined it is a bit drier, you can use all turkey or all beef it is really up to you.

Tips:
- Choose the right ground turkey. Not all ground turkey is created equal. Look for ground turkey that is at least 85% lean. This will help to ensure that your meatloaf is moist and flavorful.
- Add some vegetables. Vegetables not only add nutrients to your meatloaf, but they also help to keep it moist. Try adding shredded zucchini, carrots, or onions to your mixture.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf. Overmixing the meatloaf can make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Bake the meatloaf at a moderate temperature. A moderate temperature will help to prevent the meatloaf from drying out. Bake the meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour, or until it is cooked through.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. Letting the meatloaf rest before slicing will help to keep the juices in. Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Conclusion:
Taco turkey meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. It's a great way to use up leftover turkey, and it's also a healthier alternative to traditional beef meatloaf. With its flavorful blend of spices and the addition of vegetables, this meatloaf is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
