Turkey Meatloaf (no Ketchup or Tomato)

dgpat's Note:

I LOVE this meatloaf!!! I finally found a turkey meatloaf that has great flavor and isn't dry! Love it in sandwiches too! I know it sounds strange to add stuffing and beef gravy to a turkey meatloaf, but it sure does work well for me. This came from somewhere on the web - can't remember where.

• Total Time: 2 hrs 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 1 (12 ounce) jar fat free beef gravy
• 1 cup water
• 2 lbs ground turkey
• 1 (6 ¼ ounce) package Stove Top low-sodium chicken stuffing mix
• 2 eggs , lightly beaten

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350.
2. Pour 1/4 cup gravy in a large bowl.
3. Stir in water.
4. Add meat, stuffing and eggs- mix lightly.
5. Shape mixture into a loaf and place in a baking pan.
6. Pour 2/3 of the remaining gravy over the meatloaf.
7. Cover loosely with foil and bake for about 50 minutes.
8. Remove foil and continue baking until top is browned- about another 50 minutes.
9. If desired, potatoes and carrots could be added to the pan around the meatloaf.
10. If I do add them, I mix some water with the remaining gravy and pour it over the potatoes.

I used cream of mushroom in lieu of the gravy as some recommended. Yummo. I also divided the recipe in half (plenty for four servings) and baked longer than directed 120 minutes for a firmer texture. The making of this meatloaf was uber-easy. The eating of it even better. I can't wait to have the second half of this meal later this month when I whip it out of the freezer. This recipe is definitely a keeper.

Fabulous! My family and friends LOVE this recipe every time I make it. Instead of making it in a loaf pan, I used a muffin/cupcake pan to shorten the cooking time to around 25-30 minutes. (This also makes it easy for leftovers the next day!) I also only used about 1.5 lbs. of turkey, which I felt gave it more of a stuffing flavor. Overall, great recipe! I use it ALL the time!
