Easy Turkey Meatloaf

I made this once and it was very good. Next time, I'm going to sautee the onion first and let it cool before adding to the mix.

Just made this with some substitutions based on what I had available - havarti for American, kosher spear for the pickles, olive oil-packed tuna versus water-packed, thick Italian bread for rye and I omitted the onion powder. I also couldn’t be bothered to wait for the salad to chill, so used it immediately. Result was still fantastic. Moral of the story - use what you have and don’t overthink it. It’ll still be excellent.

Really delicious. Next time I'd make extra sauce.

I made this as written - including the optional Italian seasoning - and it was great! Perfect in my oven at the 50 minute mark. Adding this to the rotation. Delicious with some air fried potatoes and string beans.

This was honestly perfection. Mine took closer to the 55 mins mark, but was so moist, flavourful and a perfect Sunday night easy dinner. Do not skip the apple, it gives a nice touch of sweetness without overpowering the loaf

Excellent, economical and easy. Followed recipe with no changes. Will make this again soon.

We had 2lbs of ground turkey, instead of the recipe’s 1-1/2 lbs. We just upped all of the ingredients a bit, and baked it in a meatloaf pan instead of a sheet pan. It was terrific! Next time we’ll do it on a sheet pan as suggested, just to get a little more browning and carmelization on the sides. Great recipe!

What is meant by “seasoned” panko? I’ve never seen it at the store and I am not inclined to buy something special for this recipe when I have plain crumbs in my pantry. What should I add to make up the difference? ( I wish recipes didn’t not have flavored ingredients like this).

I followed the recipe pretty closely (for me, anyway) but I only had 1 lb of ground turkey so I chopped a couple of chicken apple sausages from the freezer and threw them in, with some sautéed onion, celery & carrots. I assigned Mr BBQ sauce to make the topping, and he put in half the turkey mix, a layer of sauce, the rest of the turkey, and more topping. It was really delicious! I had the leftovers on a bagel with onion jam and mayo for lunch today, because why make meatloaf without leftovers?

First time making a turkey meatloaf. I used a sheet pan as suggested. My first thought taking it out of the oven was “it’s sort of ugly!” But once I let it rest and sliced it, I felt better about it. Held together well and was moist. Overall, has a nice robust flavor using the listed ingredients. I used plain panko crumbs. Will try the seasoned version next time, although I’m not sure it needs it.

Made this with the addition of a grated zucchini (as suggested below). Used plain panko breadcrumbs and they were fine. Didn't have Worcestershire sauce so subbed in low-sodium soy sauce. There is enough seasoning in everything else that you don't need to use seasoned breadcrumbs if you don't have them.

Because the recipe calls for seasoned bread crumbs I skipped the addition of additional garlic powder, but did add Italian seasoning, and used my favorite Hickory Brown Sugar barbecue sauce on top. The unlikely combination was a real hit and there wasn’t a speck left on the platter. Delicious.

What kind of apple?

An excellent dish, who would have thought, turkey yet. It was plenty moist and super tasty. If you follow one reader’s suggestion of adding avocado to combat dryness be sure the avocado is ripe and mashable, otherwise it’s just added lumps. The egg, apple, Worcestershire and onion should suffice as moisture providers.

For the sauce, I used a no-sugar-added BBQ sauce instead of ketchup and did not add brown sugar. It was still sweet enough.
