This is a recipe that I had made pre-blog, so I already had notes about it in my cookbook. I had said that it had a great flavor, but was very dry due to the use of extra-lean ground turkey. Every time I use the extra-lean ground turkey in a recipe, it usually comes out dry and with less flavor. This time, I decided to use the lean ground turkey to see if it came out better. It did!
This meatloaf is so yummy, you will definitely be glad you made it. As a matter of fact, I think this recipe is one of my favorites, when made with the lean ground turkey. It tastes a lot like taco meat, but not to the point where you feel as though it should be eaten in a taco shell or tortilla. It is definitely good on its own. I love the layer of cheese in the middle of the meatloaf. With the added cheese on top, this meatloaf is super cheesy and good. I love cheese!
I also like the fact that there are added veggies in the meatloaf. It has corn, bellpeppers, and onion mixed in with everything else. So good! If you are looking for a new twist on your ordinary meatloaf, try out this recipe. If you want it to taste even better, use lean ground turkey instead of extra-lean, unless you would rather keep it lower in calories.
I will try this one for sure.. Looks good and I like that it's made with Turkey. That's pretty much the only ground meat we use in this house.. Thanks for sharing with us. I know how much work goes into blogging recipes etc.. So you ROCK!!!!
