Food and Recipes Recipes Turkey Meatloaf Be the first to rate & review! Bring on the mashed potatoes and green beans. Our Test Kitchen's Turkey Meatloaf recipe is ready to challenge your Mama's iconic dish. Made with ground turkey and ground turkey Italian sausage, this new-age meatloaf just might beat your go-to ground beef version. The turkey combination gives the dish a more flavorful, less fatty, and all-around delicious center. Plus, it calls for a ketchup-like glaze on top–a finishing touch that will take you back to your childhood in one bite.The approach may feel familiar to Old-fashioned Meatloaf fans. Be sure to mix well enough so that the loaf holds together, but too much or it may become tough. While the loaf is baking, stir together the tomato-based topping. It'll just need a quick 10 minutes with the glaze to finish up. Slice a piece for everyday dinner or party supper. Either way, we really just want to know what mom thinks of this twist on a classic.
