    Interesting recipe - my husband loved it. I made it a few less calories by substituting 5 Saltines and 16 crushed reduced fat wheat thins in lieu of the chips. It's less than the 3/4 of a cup but came out fine and moist - less calories and fat. - 3/20/08

    AHHHHHH we loved this!! I regularly make turkey meatloaf, so this was a nice way to switch it up. I added finely diced onion and served with homemade unfried "refried" beans over spinach. This'll make the rotation - 4/22/09

    I made this and it was delicious. My only complaint is that it didn't hold together well. I made it using 20 oz of Jennie O turkey (less than recipe called for) and used 1.5 Mission Whole Grain tortillas. Big hit with family. Any suggestions. - 1/21/08

    UPDATE: It was great! I used tomato sauce, cayenne, cumin and chili powder instead of salsa. Next time though I think I'll put the corn on the side - it tasted good, but the texture was really strange! Especially since I like to make sandwiches with leftover meatloaf. Wheat bread and corn don't go! - 4/2/09

    This was really good for a different spin on meat loaf... The whole family liked it. My husband slathered it in more salsa to get more of the flavor... - 2/25/09

    This was just as tasty as I thought it was going to be. 1 slice/serving is a perfect size. I will definitely make this one again. - 1/27/08

    I made this tonight and it was thumbs up in my family. Instead of using turkey I used ground chicken and loved it. - 1/23/08
