Turkey Meatloaf
Meatloaf is an American comfort food. Some fondly remember their mother or grandmother making it for Sunday dinner and others remember it—uh—just a little less fondly. This recipe is made with ground turkey meat instead of ground beef, which lowers the saturated fat content of the meal, and if you follow this recipe you won’t end up with a dried out piece of shoe leather. It’s surprisingly easy to prepare, too!
