Along with my general aversion to Turkey Hamburgers, I too am not a fan of Turkey Meatloaf. I truly would not have ever tried making one were it not for the skyrocketing price of ground beef due to the coronavirus. Therefore it was my goal to make the most moist and delicious version I could.
Turkey being a healthier protein than ground beef, has much less fat. That fat gives beef a juicier tastier quality. In order to make my turkey meatloaf moist and tasty I added; Extra Virgin Olive Oil, a good fat, lots of onions, cilantro, mushrooms, all to add moisture and seasonings to create something worthy of asking for seconds.
I love this recipe and may never go back to making meatloaf with ground beef. Even better the pickiest taste testers in the world, my children love it.
Enjoy!
