As a person who does not eat red meat, I use ground turkey instead of ground beef in many recipes. I’ve made this meatloaf with ground turkey and ground beef separately, and I get much more rave reviews when I use turkey, so give it a shot!
Turkey Meatloaf Recipe (12 servings)
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds of 93% lean ground turkey
- 1/2 pound of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 envelope of dry onion soup mix
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups of fresh bread crumbs (about 3 slices of bread)
- 1/4 cup of ranch salad dressing
- 1 tablespoon of dried parsley
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl. (I use my hands to make sure everything gets really well-combined, but if you’re squeamish, use a big metal spoon.)
- Transfer meat mixture to prepared baking pan and form into a loaf.
- Bake uncovered for 1 hour.
- Allow to set for 10 minutes before slicing.Then serve and enjoy!
Note:
This meatloaf makes incredible meatloaf sandwiches as well!
