Too Good to Be Good for U-- Turkey Meatloaf

Submitted by R. Oakley

"I love this recipe because it is quite tasty, with a spicy kick. I have been making this meatloaf or a modified version of it for years now. Sometimes I substitute 1/2 cup of oatmeal (soaked in water)in place of the bread. I often change the types of vegetables I use in it, but the result is always the same--YUMMY!!!"

I liked the flavor of this but the bread didn't break down enough. I tried to shred it up and I ended up with chunks of bread in my meatloaf. I think next time I will try the oatmeal. It will absorb better. But the flavors were nice. I had way too much sauce. Plus I only had to cook mine 1 hour.

Wonderful! I used oatmeal in place of the bread and tryed with ground chicken cause thats all I had. This meatloaf is bursting with flavor. The sauce adds a nice touch. Highly recommend. I also added 1 tsp of worchestire sauce. Cant wait to try with the turkey. Thanks for posting!

This was delicious. We could not even tell that it was turkey and not ground beef. I had to leave out the jalapeno and browning sauce because I did not have them but it was still very tasty and moist.
