Turkey Meatloaf

Turkey Meatloaf

Turkey Meatloaf

I rarely recommend using non-stick cooking spray. For this recipe, spraying the baking dish will certainly help alleviate a super messy dish.

Turkey is leaner than beef. That is no secret. Because of this, a meatloaf or even Turkey Burgers can sometimes be a bit dry. What is the key? Adding a hint of moisture to the meat and not over-cooking it.

Key ingredients in this recipe include: cremini mushrooms, garlic, basil, parsley, an egg, a little milk, and a few breadcrumbs. For fun, how about adding 1/4 cup diced fresh red bell pepper? Maybe some yellow bell pepper. Want that cheesy flavor? Nutritional yeast is a delicious option to sprinkle on top just before serving!

MEATLOAF RECIPE TIPS AND SUBSTITUTIONS:

  • Add that moisture with the egg and milk
  • Not a fan of milk? Use unsweetened, plain almond milk or kefir
  • If eggs are a problem, substitute unsweetened applesauce or chia seeds soaked in water
  • “Knead” the mixture to combine but try not to overdo it
  • Press the mixture into the baking dish somewhat firmly without “mashing” it
  • Cremini mushrooms are used here. Feel free to replace with oyster, finely chopped portobello, or even porcini mushrooms YUM!
