Notes
Invent Your Recipe:In our first meatloaf recipe we choose ground turkey. This is the healthier option compared to traditional ground beef meatloaf. This is a great alternative to mix up this classic dish. This recipe can work well with ground beef, pork, or chicken. Try each one and let us know which one you prefer. Mine is ground beef...can't beat the classic.You will notice I am using marinara sauce instead of turkey gravy or brown gravy. I prefer the tomato sauce, but if that is not for you, use the gravy of your choosing.
