Tips:

Choose the right apples. Granny Smith apples are a good choice for this recipe because they hold their shape well and have a tart flavor that pairs well with the curry and turkey.
Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough.
Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches. A larger loaf pan will make the meatloaf too thin.
Bake the meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Insert a meat thermometer into the center of the meatloaf to make sure it has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit before removing it from the oven.
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the meatloaf hold its shape.
