Bake 1 1/2 hour in the preheated oven, or until meat is cooked through and the internal temperature is at least 170 degrees F (70 degrees C) when taken with a meat thermometer.

My fiance loved it! He said it tasted like regular meatloaf but was excited that it was a bit healthier with the turkey. I added some rosemary thyme and parsley for extra flavor. Served with mashed potatoes and carrots. Update...I have made this two more times and it is a major hit every time! Try it! Read More

Amanda: I tried your recipe so as to compare it to mine and guess what? We make a really good Turkey Loaf. Thanks for helping me make sure I was making mine right (and delicious). REVISED 8/27/09: STILL a great recipe. Made this last night into "muffins"...used 2 lbs. Ground Turkey...omitted the egg and added a can of Cr. of Chicken...used poultry seasoning "to taste"...kept the rest of the ingredients the same. Popped into muffin pans and baked an hour at 350. Note: Don't worry that the recipe is extremely moist before baking...that's the payoff...cripsy on the outside tender and moist on the inside. Read More

Ground Turkey comes prepacked in 1 lb packs so I used 2 lbs to make this. To make it even healthier I used oatmeal in place of the breadcrumbs. It was very good and made enough for 6 servings. Although I will continue to try new ground turkey recipes out of interest I will most likely use this one again. Read More

I saw a similar recipe on this site that had salsa included so I added 1/4 cup to this recipe. Overall it was very tasty but a little salty. Next time I will use less salt and a 1/2 tbsp of poultry seasoning instead. Easy to prepare and good enough to make again! Read More

I personally love this recipe while my bf thinks it's "pretty good". I think that he prefers the standard ground beef meatloaf but we both like the health benefits of using Turkey. On my first attempt I followed the directions as is. On my second try I rolled it with a layer of mashed sweet potatoes and a thin layer of cranberry sauce. Great recipe definitely a keeper!

I enjoyed very easy. Based on other suggestions I added rosemary black pepper minced onion and a few other spices. I chopped a green pepper and added to mix which was a nice change in a few bites. I will probably use 3/4 the breadcrumbs next time - it was a little dry for my taste (but I wasn't sure if that had anything to do with spices and pepper added) Very good recipe - thanks so much!

I've made this a few times now and have cut down slightly on the bread crumbs. Otherwise it's very tasty just as it is. Also my one-year-old loves it! Read More
