Moist And Delicious Turkey Meatloaf
I've never had turkey meatloaf before. This is my first. I was expecting it to be dry, but this wasn't. I used bread crumbs as I didn't have ground oatmeal, which (truthfully) I haven't heard of! :) A bit more mustard on top wouldn't hurt this at all.
I'm looking forward to trying this cold on a sandwich tomorrow. Very delicious!

Once again wish the husband liked meatloaf :( He may do the sandwich option of it though, I'll have to test that. My kids love the stuff at least! I've never had a meatloaf without a sweet note to it. Looks good though!

I wish we could call this something other than meatloaf so people didn't have the negative stimga attached to it. Thanks so much for giving the recipe a try, Frankieanne! Lovely photo :)

Call it glazed turkey pate! Looks great. I always used oatmeal in my meat loaf prep, just like mom.....I like to think the fiber is good for me.

I never hear of ground oatmeal either--did you find it or substitute?

My history too is not a love affair with turkey in meatloaf. More appropriately named mushloaf. I like the loaf to stand on its own and firm enough for sandwiches the next day. I like meatloaf. No negative stigma here. It's the body of the loaf the ground turkey makes.
I'm thinking maybe I can take some turkey pieces, cut them in small cubes and freeze for a few minutes to firm up the flesh, then pulse grind them in a food processor to make my own ground turkey. Maybe then the loaf will stand firmer.
Take regular rolled oats and pulse grind them in a food processor to make ground oatmeal. Quick oats are just rolled oats that are cut up a little in smaller pieces.

I used plain old breadcrumbs, lovebreezy. I was thinking that pulsing rolled oats in a food processor would make ground oatmeal, just as pso said, but wasn't really certain. But, I just used breadcrumbs because it was easier.
This was pretty firm, pso. I was surprised. I'm not really a ground turkey fan either. I let the crumbs soak in the milk for about 20 minutes. I think maybe that helped make a firm loaf. It was firm enough for sandwiches.
