Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use any ground turkey for Easy Turkey Meatloaf?
Ground breast meat is leaner that regular ground turkey and so it’s the preferred choice for the best turkey meatloaf texture and flavor.
What can I serve with turkey meatloaf?
This easy turkey meatloaf can be served with just about any vegetable and potato. Try baked potatoes and green beans or refrigerated mashed potatoes and a side salad.
How can I make a taller turkey meatloaf?
Use an 8x4-inch pan, rather than a 9x5. The narrower width of the 8x4 pan makes a taller, skinner turkey meatloaf.
