Excellent and simple dish that all three of us loved. Due to the cost of ground turkey & chicken here, I got creative, purchased on sale chicken thighs, de-boned and ground them myself (bit labour intensive but worth it). I didn't realise I was out of Parmesan, so used ricotta for the cheese and rolled oats instead of breadcrumbs, rosemary in place of having no chives. I wasn't too keen on the nutmeg personally and may try it without next time, but the boys ate 3 meatloaves each :). Otherwise made the recipe as shown, this will be a regular meal at our house. Thank you so much for another excellent recipe Lady :). Made and enjoyed for PAC Spring 2011.

I am happy to be the first to review the recipe after finding it from your recent chef of the day. I thought that this is a wonderful way to make turkey meatloves, they darken and are more chrispy on the outside, therefore, they look just like a beef meatloaf. The taste was very good. I didn't see any difference made by using the roasting bag, if someone dosn't have one on hand, don't bother. The veggies were a nice change from mashed potatoes which I usually make with meatloaf.

I do love the Crock Pot, when you live in the mountains and drive aprox. 4 hours on a work day. It is nice to come home to.
