What is Turkey Meatloaf?

Made with ground turkey, our easy turkey meatloaf uses Italian-style bread crumbs and a few seasonings to flavor and bind the meat together. It’s topped with a savory sauce blend and baked in a loaf pan to hold its shape.

How Do I Prevent Easy Turkey Meatloaf from Being Mushy?

For the best turkey meatloaf, be sure you’re using ground turkey breast rather than ground turkey. Ground turkey breast is leaner than ground turkey, which will prevent any mushiness

Will Turkey Meatloaf be Bland?

Our easy turkey meatloaf gets its flavor from Italian-style bread crumbs, in addition to ketchup, Worcestershire, garlic and mustard. It’s our basic recipe. If you like a more highly seasoned recipe, try sweet and salsa meatloaf

How Do I Serve Easy Turkey Meatloaf?

Letting the baked meatloaf stand for 5 minutes after baking, helps it set up so that you can easily remove it from the pan, using a pancake turner. For an easy meal, serve this classic comfort food with mashed potatoes and cooked carrots.

More About This Recipe

  • Meatloaf is a great dinner to make when you want to cook once but eat twice! (We love how the flavor develops while the leftovers are in the fridge.) Enjoy it by itself the first night and then use the leftovers for sandwiches 1 or 2 days later. Try our highly-ranked best beef meatloaf or pizza meatloaf, next time you want to change it up.

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.

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?
