Homestyle Turkey Meatloaf with Mushrooms Pure Comfort Food

Meatloaf is the ultimate in comfort food and this meatloaf  is just that. The sauce on top adds a little bit of sweet with a little bit of spicy heat. It’s delicious and comforting. We like to serve our meatloaf with  twice baked potatoes and a side of green beans.

I haven’ t always been a fan of making meatloaf because the beef version always seemed too greasy.  I tried several times to replicate my mother’s meatloaf recipe which was made with mushroom soup and beef in a healthier way and every time it was a fail. Too soggy or greasy.

I  couldn’t stop thinking about mom’s meatloaf and I knew there was a way to make it better.  Ground turkey is leaner but typically dry and I wasn’t sure how it would taste.  I tried out a few different things, and I found that adding vegetables such as mushrooms zucchini shreds, carrots or onions adds just the right amount of moisture with a touch of flavor.

Success!  A close version of my mother’s meatloaf was created.  Instead of canned and boxed soup, I use real chopped onions and mushrooms. The end result is an incredibly moist and flavorful meatloaf.

Suggestions for Making a Moist Home-Style Turkey Meatloaf

• Oats can be substituted with equal amount of bread crumbs
• If you don’t like mushrooms, shred up a half cup of zucchini or carrots and add to meatloaf
• For a meaty texture, chop the mushrooms up small so that they blend in with the meat.  If you prefer chunky mushrooms leave them larger
• If you don’t like the heat from sriracha, leave it out
• Mix up the meatloaf ahead of time, refrigerate and pop in the oven just before dinner
• Be sure the meatloaf is fully cooked, turkey is cooked through at 165
