Not everyone likes meatloaf. Thank goodness I'm not everyone. Haha. Meatloaf is another favorite of mine. I decided to make a turkey version since its just a tad bit healthier than ground beef and I already had 3 lbs of Ground turkey in my freezer. I like meals that I don't have to do any extra shopping for:)
I used Jenny O 85/15 turkey that comes in the tube like package. I like these because they are fairly cheap and easy to freeze and thaw when needed. It seems like a lot of my meals are thrown together and last minute seeing as I'm not a great planner. These "tubes" of ground turkey thaw out quickly instead of buying a big or family pack of meat and having to thaw it in the microwave..Well enough rambling...Lets get going.

Ingredients:
- 3 LBs of 85/15 ground turkey
- 4 slices of Bread
- 1 cup of milk ( you can add more to your liking)
- 1 tsp of pepper
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (curly or flat leaf, makes no difference)
- 1/2 cup of Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 1/2 tsp of garlic powder
Sauce
- 1 1/2 cup of Ketchup
- 1/2 cup of brown sugar

- 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
To make the sauce, just add all of the ingredients together in a bowl and mix together. Set aside.

Put the 4 slices of bread in a large bowl and pour the milk in. Make sure the bread is soaked with the milk. Depending on what kind of bread you use you might have to had just a scosche more. Once the bread is soaked, add the rest of the ingredients.
Mix together and make sure the bread and seasonings incorporate through the ground turkey. I use my hands because it seems easier. Ground turkey is not as dense of meat as ground beef so just kind of pour out the mixture into a 9 by 13 pan that you have lined with foil.
As best you can, shape into a loaf. Do not flatten the mixture out completely to fill the entire pan. Doing so will cause your meatloaf to be tough.
Now, Take the sauce you mixed earlier and spread half of the mixture onto the loaf. Put in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes.
As soon as you take your meatloaf out of the oven, pour out some of the grease that has cooked out of the loaf. Then while its still piping hot pour the rest of the sauce mixture over the loaf. Spread evenly. Slice and enjoy:) I sauteed some fresh brussel sprouts as a side dish.
