UNBELIEVABLY MOIST TURKEY MEATLOAF
Our turkey meatloaf is full of flavor, moist in the middle, and has become a reader favorite! You would never guess this meatloaf is packed with mushrooms, but that's what makes it so darn delicious. Lots of finely chopped mushrooms add flavor and moisture, often missing from the typical turkey meatloaf. When choosing which mushrooms to add, white button mushrooms will work perfectly fine. For more flavor, try one or a combination of brown cremini, portobello, or shiitake mushrooms. The mushrooms need to be very finely chopped. You can do this by hand or use a food processor.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400° Fahrenheit. Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet (or use a 9-inch by 13-inch baking pan) lined with aluminum foil.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened; about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the mushrooms, a 1/2-teaspoon of salt, and a 1/4-teaspoon of pepper. Cook until the mushrooms give off their liquid and it boils away; about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the onions and mushrooms to a large bowl, and then stir in the Worcestershire sauce and three tablespoons of the ketchup. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the breadcrumbs and milk in a small bowl. Stir the breadcrumb mixture and the eggs into the mushrooms and onions. Using a fork or your hands, gently mix in the turkey, a 1/4-teaspoon of salt, and a 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. The mixture will be very wet.
- Form the meatloaf into a 9-inch by 5-inch oval in the middle of the prepared baking sheet. Spread the remaining four tablespoons of ketchup on top.
- Bake the meatloaf until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meatloaf registers 170 degrees F, about 50 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.

HEALTHY TASTY TURKEY MEATLOAF
Super tasty, high in protien & fiber and super lowfat. The kids will clean their plates! I'm posting the "almost no-fat" version of this dish. You may substitute 2 real eggs for the egg substitute, use "lean"rather than "super lean" turkey and add a little olive oil for flavor if you want, it will still be very low in fat. This recipe sometimes has a bit of trouble binding - if someone has any ideas to help this to bind better let me know - thanks and enjoy!

- While the vegetables cool, stir together the stuffing mix and chicken stock in a medium bowl.. Let sit for 15 minutes, until the stuffing mix is soggy and has absorbed all of the liquid.
- Once the vegetables have cooled, add the soaked stuffing mix, ground turkey, remaining teaspoon salt, remaining ¼ teaspoon pepper, remaining ¾ teaspoon ground sage, and the egg. Mix until well combined. Transfer to the prepared loaf pan, pressing down to smooth the top.
- Bake the turkey and stuffing loaf for 25 minutes.

TASTY TURKEY MEATLOAF
A lighter version of your mom's meatloaf. Ground turkey is a gift from the food gods, cooked properly it is just as satisfying (if not more) as beef. The secret is to find ways to add moisture and flavor it with bold seasoning. The Worcestershire beefs it up well, too. Beef taste without the fat, it doesn't get much better! I also took a time-saving tip from Rachel Ray, which is to form the meatloaf into personal sized portions, which cuts the cook time from an hour to about 25 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Place the turkey in a large mixing bowl. Place a cheese grater over the bowl and grate the onion so that the onion juice gets into the meat. Fluff the turkey meat with a fork (this keeps the meat from getting too mushy), then add the bread crumbs.
- Add remaining ingredients into a small separate bowl and mix them them together to create a sauce, this insures even ingredient distribution. Pour the sauce mixture over the meat and mix with either a fork or your hands gently until just combined. Even the meat mixture out in the bowl and use your fork or finger to divide it into four equal sections.
- Scoop out each section and use hand to form an oval shaped mound, like a slightly flattened meat ball. Place each section on a foil-lined baking sheet (foil makes for easy clean up!).
- Bake loaves on the middle rack at 375 degrees for 25 minutes, or until internal temperature is 165 degrees farenheit. Makes four servings.
