This Lightened-Up Ground Turkey Meatloaf recipe is a winner! It is such a tasty dinner (my parents agree!), and with a little prep work done ahead of time, it didn’t take too long to come together. It’s made with ground turkey rather than ground beef, so it is a little lighter than traditional meatloaf, hence the “lightened-up” title. I hope you enjoy this meal as much as we did!
