MUSHROOM MEAT LOAF

Mushroom Meat Loaf image

Although I don't consider myself much of a cook, I'm really proud of this recipe. The meat loaf is tender and moist, and the sauce has a nice, subtle spiciness to it. The mushrooms and ground turkey are an unexpected yet delicious combination. -Tyler Sherman, Williamsburg, Virginia
