BEST TURKEY MEATLOAF
After much trial and error trying to make a more healthy meatloaf, I came up with this recipe. It is important to make this on a baking sheet so the liquids can be drained off the meatloaf. Also, do not put the topping on before the meatloaf has cooked for 30 minutes. Turkey creates a lot of juices, so if you put the topping on first it will become watery and runny.

Tips:
- Choose the right ground turkey: Opt for a blend of dark and light meat for a flavorful and moist meatloaf.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing can result in a tough meatloaf. Mix just until the ingredients are evenly combined.
- Use a variety of seasonings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to create a flavorful meatloaf. Some popular options include garlic, onion, thyme, rosemary, and sage.
- Add moisture to the meatloaf: To prevent the meatloaf from becoming dry, add moisture in the form of eggs, bread crumbs, or vegetable puree.
- Bake the meatloaf at a high temperature initially: This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the meatloaf.
- Reduce the temperature and continue baking: Once the meatloaf has browned, reduce the temperature and continue baking until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the meatloaf to retain its juices.
