This meatloaf is very tasty--my husband and I loved it. I did add a large clove of minced garlic, and sauteed the onion, bell pepper (not red pepper) and garlic in a skillet sprayed with cooking spray. This sauteed mixture needs to cool down before it is added to the other ingredients, otherwise it starts to cook the ground turkey slightly. After the 50 minutes in the oven, I moved the baking pan to the stove top and covered it with foil to let it rest. When it came out of the oven, the bottom part had quite a bit of juice in it. After resting for 5 - 10 minutes, the juices were reabsorbed by the meatloaf.

This was a hit with everyone-myself, my husband, and my picky six year old. I didn't add the red pepper bc I didn't know if that would make it too spicy for my child. I do wish I had changed a couple of other things though. I'm not a huge fan of onion, so I wish I had added less-and maybe sauteed them first before adding so there would be less of a crunchy texture. Also, I think adding ketchup into the mixture and not just painting it on the outside, would make it more moist and flavorful. This was my first time making meatloaf though, so thanks for the great and healthy recipe! :)

Superb! The finer you can chop the onions and pepper the better -- it helps the whole thing stay together. I took a chance and used a meatloaf pan, but I think I'll be following the 13x9 pan recommendation next time -- the meatloaf pan didn't release any of the liquid, so the bottom half of the loaf was almost runny. Also, try topping it with salsa fresca -- it adds a nice crisp zing. Will definitely make again!

The loaf was a little too moist and some of the moisture overflowed in the oven. However, the finished loaf had a good consistency. It was tasty albeit a little too sweet. I had expected it to be spicier considering the chili sauce. Since I do not mix meat and dairy I used water instead of milk to soak the oats. Thanks for posting.

OOH! Thank you for this fabulous recipe! I altered some things for personal preference - used 1 lb ground turkey, 5 diced baby carrots, about 1/3 of a finely diced onion, 1 egg, 1/2 diced yellow pepper, subbed A1 steaksauce for the chili sauce and ketchup...mostly just topped with the A1. I have also thrown in diced portabellas to the mix. Salt it, pepper it, wonderful! The method of using milk soaked oatmeal is genius. Excellent versatile recipe. I bake mine in a muffin tin with a cookie sheet unerneath to catch any possible run off. I usually get all 12 filled, on occasion only 11 of them. 375 for 25 minutes or so.

I loved it! I had a 3lb pack of 93% fat free turkey so I had to triple the recipe. I also substituted egg whites and added low sodium soy sauce since I had no worcestershire.. I was hesitant about the oats instead of breadcrumbs but the meatloaf was soooo moist and flavourful. I could not tell there were oats in there! I will definitely be making this one again.
