Notes
- *I used the dry turkey gravy mix that you just add water to. Feel free to make your own from scratch. I obviously did not.

- Leftovers. This turkey meatloaf recipe can last up to 4 days in the fridge and is great as leftovers.
- Freezing. Make the turkey meatloaf recipe as directed. Cool and slice, then store in airtight containers in the freezer for up to three months!
- Reheating. Thaw the meatloaf slowly. This is best done in the fridge the night before. Then in 30-second increments microwave that baby until it is warm and delicious.
- Turkey Meatloaf Muffins. To make this recipe faster and cuter divide the turkey mixture into four smaller loaf pans and bake for 20-30 minutes. OR you can even use your cupcake tin to make a ton of small, cute, delicious meatloaves.
