Introduction

My Husband loves meatloaf but I hate to make it because it's so high in calories and fat. I found this wonderful recipe in a wedding cookbook, and Turkey works great in it. Delicious and super moist! Long cooking time though, so good for a hearty Sunday night meal. My Husband loves meatloaf but I hate to make it because it's so high in calories and fat.

    This was a very tasty meat loaf. My husband loved it and we add salsa to it which gave it a little kick. - 10/12/10

    This is a keeper.I cooked without the sausages, I did add a little ground sage. I made it into 2 smaller loaves and one is in the freezer. Next time i will do 1 loaf and meatballs. A good allround recipe though,thanks for sharing - 1/28/10

    Incredible!
    We love this recipe, thanks for sharing! Mrs. Dash is a great idea. I experimented a bit for different loaves: 1) home-made BBQ sauce 2) Italian seasoning 3) all turkey, no sausage 4) spicy sausage 5) applesauce instead of egg. Tto go full-on vegan, use beans (lentils, chick peas, black beans etc). - 1/22/15

    This was wonderful, we baked acorn squash and had a green bean/ artichoke casserole with it. We cut out the "topping" of ketchup but left it in the mix. This cut the calories and sugar. - 8/1/13
