Moist Turkey Meatloaf

MA HIKER's Note:

My kids don't like meatloaf but they love this! It is wonderfully moist and flavorful. This is from the Stonyfield Farm web site. When I am short on time, I skip the saute the onion step and just mix it all together - tastes delicious!

Great flavor and the house smells amazing! I experimented with the food processor on this and found the texture to be too fine. But the flavor is fabulous!!

I liked this basic recipe. Next time (and there will be a next time-MA Hiker), I will add some herbs of choice--rosemary, sage and/or thyme--with an emphasis on rosemary to boost the flavors. This makes great sandwiches the next day.

This is my favorite go-to recipe and both of my kids love it. I make mini meatloaves in muffin cups, so they take only about 10 minutes to cook and leftovers are super easy to freeze.
