I do enjoy a good meatloaf.  But it’s tough to share with all of you because meatloaf is very hard to make pretty.  It’s just not a nice food to look at! So I made it as pretty as I could.  And I hope that does it a little bit of justice… because this turkey meatloaf is quite delicious!

In this recipe, I use 93% lean turkey.  If you try to use the 99% lean turkey, I fear that it will come out much too dry and inedible. With just a small bit of fat added in there, it’s perfect for imparting moisture and flavor into the meatloaf. There’s a delicious mix of carrots and very finely chopped mushrooms in this meatloaf.  The mushrooms help keep the meatloaf very tender too.

A sweet spread of sweet barbecue sauce on top of this turkey meatloaf finishes it off quite nicely. You can use any barbecue sauce you’d like. We like the Sweet Baby Rays brand. You won’t miss the beef in this meatloaf at all! Enjoy!
