The flavor of this meatloaf is so good. I omitted the salt and used dried parsley. Thanks Bridget :) Made for PAC Fall 2011

This is a great meatloaf recipe. I used ground turkey instead of beef. It turned out excellent and was enjoyed by everyone. This is definitely a keeper! Made for PAC Spring 2009
