Flavorful Turkey Meatloaf or Turkey Loaf

Submitted by Marla Swoffer

"I combined my favorite ideas from several Zaar turkey meatloaf recipes and came up with a winner that's moist and flavorful (my husband told me I had to write this one down). The optional gravy is based on recipe #90731."

I am a big fan of meatloaf and I enjoyed this one very much! I thought the spices worked wonderfully and I loved the flavor of the sun-dried tomatoes. This was a very moist meatloaf and this one didn't have the rubbery texture that turkey often has. I ended up not making the gravy this time, as I had a mushroom/marsala sauce on hand. I cooked until 160 degrees. Thanks picholine for posting. I'll be making this one again.<br/>Roxygirl

Loved this recipe. It is moist and flavorfull! I use a catsup-salsa topping that I like instead of the gravy listed. I think the mushrooms give it more moisture, but if family members don't like it leave it out. I love thesun-dried tomatoes in it also. I have passed this on to several people.<br/>Thanks for a great meatloaf recipe for those of us who cannot tolerate beef or pork. Carole in Olando
