This is a delicious meatloaf. Lovely herby flavor, light texture and the apples gave it a flavor pop.

With the exception of using Macintosh apples instead of Granny Smith, I followed the recipe as written. It turned out to be a really tasty loaf. I served it the first night with rings of steamed acorn squash and quinoa cooked in chicken broth. Next day, it sliced up into tasty sandwiches on pumpernickel bread with lettuce, dijon mustard and a cranberry-mayo sauce. Will definitely make this again.

I subbed in ground chicken for the turkey and then just followed the recipe. This smells like Thanksgiving dinner in the oven but it's a lot easier. The apple gave the loaf a lighter fresh taste and the herbs were right on the mark for us. Healthy comfort food! how good can you get :D. Served with steamed broccoli, low fat biscuits and Recipe #427429 this was a delicious, hearty and much enjoyed dinner.
