Healthy, Hearty Turkey Loaf
Why I Love This Recipe
My mother is the meatloaf queen, but as we got older and startied thinking about healthier eating, her classic recipe had to go! This turkey and veggie version is healthier, but still hearty, and tastier than the original! It's also very versatile; you can use any veggies you like, or whatever you happen to have in the fridge! Zucchini, carrots, squash, get creative!
