  1. One of our favorite holiday recipes. I change it a tiny bit to accommodate our leftovers...I leave out the milk/water and use 1 cup of leftover HOMEMADE whole cranberry sauce. It makes this recipe over-the-top delicious. My cranberry sauce is a simple recipe from the Joy of Cooking cookbook and it gives this meatloaf the perfect taste. My husband likes Thanksgiving and Christmas more because he knows the meatloaf will follow....hahahah! My two <4 year old boys also love it, which is amazing.
     
  2. This tasted like a thanksgiving meatloaf and I couldn't get enough! I loved the bit of sweetness the cranberries gave it.
     
  3. I give this a 5 star restaurant quality meal. I always read reviews to get an idea of how to perfect the recipe. I will say, everyone suggested the same thing " sauté the veggies first". So I made sure I did others wise I followed it to a T. This was like thanksgiving all rolled into one bite! My family loved it- I paired with this creamy mashed potatoes with a mushroom gravy and also a side of fresh green beans cooked aldente sauted in garlic soy sauce honey and red pepper flakes. The meal was to die for I was so hungry for a bite I couldn't wait I took the picture after taking my first bite! I will deff be saving this one for the books! Thank you!!
     
  4. very good, but will definitely saute the onions first next time; too undercooked for my taste.
     
  5. This was delicious and a big hit with my partner. I omitted the cranberries (don't like fruit with meat), but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I'll be making this one again, thanks lily!

  1. I omitted the cranberries.
     
  2. This is delicious. I made the recipe exactly as written. I found my brand of lean ground turkey was only 1 1/4 pound so I had to add more from the second package. I also found the brand of box turkey dressing available was 170 gram so I had to remove 50 grams of it. I used the water instead of the milk. I had a 1 1/2 pound meatloaf pan and it fit just perfect but it did take and hour and fifteen minutes to reach180 F internal temperature. This will be repeated and the 5 minutes prep time is accurate.
