    For the microwave this was awesome!! I substituted oats for bread crumbs and used egg whites instead and used everything else and it was delicious. I was in a hurry to make something asap and decided to try this and SATISFIED :) Was unsure of using the microwave but it worked and saved me time!!!! - 11/12/09

    This dish is sooo good! It was super moist and my husband loved it. I left out the sage (I didn't have any) and used 99% fat free turkey. I also cooked it in the oven for 40 mins on 350. Thanks for such a wonderful recipe! - 10/17/09

    I have made this several times. It is very popular with my family. My microwave takes longer to get the turkey cooked through. I use a meat thermometer to make sure the internal temp is high enough for safety. - 7/6/09

    Yum! This was a great recipe! I added 2 whole eggs instead of egg sub and cooked it in the oven for 45 mins at 350F (cause I am leery of the microwave). The ingredients were just perfect, so very moist and tasty....I will be making this again! - 2/3/09

    I added frozen spinach, and did half lean ground beef. Barely added any calories, and it was wonderful. I expected microwaved meatloaf to be kind of gray and slimy, but I couldn't tell it hadn't been in the oven - 9/9/09

    This was so delicious and so moist! I will definitely be making this again. I had to double the recipe and didn't want to figure out how long to cook in the microwave so I cooked in the oven for 45 minutes at 350. So yummy! - 8/27/12

    This was fabulous and sooo easy. With it starting to get warmer outside, I didn't want to heat up the oven but was a bit skeptacle about this recipe. I was positively thrilled to find that this recipe turned out so good and will be a family favorite that I will make again and again. - 4/21/08

    This was the best turkey meatloaf I have ever had. It was easy to cook, moist and the flavor was great. Even the members of my family who prefer ground beef over turkey enjoyed it. I followed the instructions exactly and it was a little salty for my tastes so next time I will lessen/omit the salt. - 11/8/13

    Didn't have bread crumbs so I used Panko, and substituted a real egg. Flavor rating = 6, eye appeal = 3 (looked somewhat anemic), so I give it a 4. Microwave was perfect for this hot, humid weather but I'll use the oven during the winter. Great recipe, very flavorful. - 8/16/12

    Ugly but DELICIOUS. Egg whites instead of egg substitute; my ground turkey was less lean; oats instead of bread crumbs; minced garlic instead of garlic powder; added diced green bell pepper; cooked it for 3 extra mins. Can't wait to have leftovers. Don't forget to try it on a sandwich with mayo ;) - 4/8/12

    I modified this with adding green & red peppers, chipotle hot sauce instead of worstershire sauce. Poured pureed tomatoes over the meatloaf and potatoes I cut up and put around the loaf. It was a good meal all in one dish. My husband LOVED it especially with ketchup. Wish it had a thick tomato sauce - 11/5/10

    I have used a recipe like this for a long time, and my family loves it! Except I substitute grated parmesean cheese for the bread crumbs. The cheese soaks up the juices, and gives an awesome flavor. I buy it in bulk to save money. Great Recipe! - 4/28/08
