Dressed-up turkey Meatloaf

Christmas is long over, but sometimes I crave a turkey dinner that doesn’t take hours to make.  Dressed-up Turkey Meatloaf is perfect for any time of the year and your family will love it.

It’s just John and me and I am not cooking a whole turkey to get that comfort meal.  I buy ground turkey and I am making a meatloaf with all the trimmings.  To make it easy, I buy prepared stuffing in a box.

What would nonna do?  I laugh because nothing in nonna’s Kitchen came out of a box.  I am thinking of putting the stuffing into the ground turkey.  When I make meatloaf, I always glaze it and my home-made cranberry sauce is already in the freezer.  https://recipesatmytable.com/ultimate-cranberry-sauce/

Here it is; it worked and I brought it to my table and you will love it on yours.

 

Of course you have to whip-up a batch of cranberry sauce.  I always have some in the freezer; follow the link in the recipe to my version.

Buy some really good muffin tins for baking.  I love these because nothing sticks to them.  They were expensive, but worth it.  Use canola oil to grease.  You can see my work notebook here where I do all my planning and writing.

I use an ice cream scoop to place the meat into the tin.

 

I brush the top of each meat cake too.

With only ten minutes left to cook, I place the cranberry sauce on each little meat cake.

I always like to peek in the oven.

Just one bite!!
