Turkey Meatloaf

My search for the perfect turkey meatloaf recipe is over (I have seriously tried more than 15 recipes). We loved this. Really Moist, actually bordering on TOO moist. My minor changes due to necessity: 1- used a mixture of white and red onion, because I was using up leftover raw onions from 2 other recipes. 2- used 85% lean turkey since I already had it, but would probably use the leaner variety the next time because this recipe was almost TOO moist. 3- used only 1 pound of turkey instead of 1.25 because that is how it is sold in our store. 4- used Panko breadcrumbs since they were ready and available. 5- I also found my meatloaf needed about 10 more minutes of cooking time to reach desired temperature.

This was great. I used whole wheat bread crumbs and used small (8oz) can of tomato sauce instead of all that ketchup which has a lot of sugar. It was fantastic!

YUM! I buy our ground turkey at Sam's club, which is a 2.5 pound pack. I doubled this recipe, and used a big can of tomato sauce instead of the ketchup. The large can was enough to go inside the meatloaf, and put a nice tomato coating on top of the meatloaf. I also used Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, since that was what I had in the pantry. I free form the loaf on a cookie sheet instead of using a loaf pan so the meatloaf doesn't stew in fat. My husband and I agree this is one of the best turkey meatloaf recipes we have tried to date! This is a definite keeper.

Thank you! I liked this very much. After some experimentation, I discovered substituting cooked whole grain brown rice for the cracker crumbs improved the texture immeasurably and also added more food value. I also added 4 oz. mushrooms (canned, but fresh could also be used) and 1/2 of a green pepper (diced) to the onion mixture. I very much like the Barbeque sauce in lieu of catsup, as well.

Very good. Most recipes (turkey or beef) call for adding chopped raw onions. It never occured to me how cooking the onions would affect the outcome. Thanks for the posting!
