If your kids are anything like mine, this turkey meatloaf recipe is a winner! Personally, I like it because using the turkey makes it leaner and not as greasy after you cook it. You can even have seconds without feeling bad about it. You still get the homestyle favorite without the guilt! Trust me, your kids will never know you used turkey instead of beef because it keeps the same flavor as the traditional dish!

The prep is quick and you can just throw it in the over and walk away until it’s done. Perfect for a weeknight meal!
