Chipotle ( Turkey ) Meatloaf

"From Cooking Light December 2005. It calls for 2 pounds of ground turkey. I made this for my husband using 1/2 turkey and 1/2 lean beef since he doesn't like turkey loaves - it gave it the flavor of beef while still lightening it up. He loved it."

  1. never had meatloaf before. It was really good and the wife said she would have it again.
     
  2. By far the best turkey meatloaf recipe ever. I didn't change a thing. The taste of the meatloaf was full flavored and extremely good. I don't usually like ground turkey but I am trying to acquire a taste for it. If all of the recipes I have tried were this good I would already be a convert. This helps greatly. Thanks
     
  3. Best meatloaf I've ever had! Even our son who won't eat anything with "ground meat" loved it! What a great surprise.
     
  4. I loved this recipe. I used 1 lb of turkey and cut everythig else in half. It was a hit! I was really surprised when this turned out better then ANY of my traditional meatloaf recipes. I will be making this regularly!
     
  5. what an awesome delight. I substituted 1 lbs of ground round for the turkey breast and used 1/2c italian style bread crumbs. I also didn't have any fresh cilantro so used 2 tsps dried. I made a tomato based gravy to go with this and my bf just loved this as I also did too. Thanks for posting

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My husband and I married straight out of college in July of 1992. I work as the Assistant Manager at a wine shop which allows me to drink on the job! (OK, not that much, but it's still a fun job...) Besides helping customers choose wine they will like (and also help with food and wine pairings for their menus), I also get to help with the catering end of the business, so I get to spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen making fun appetizers and beautiful food displays. I also work part-time at the fromagerie next door. So yeah - that means I eat on the job, too. :^D We live on several peaceful wooded acres on a cute little river in rural NE Wisconsin, with a cranky old-lady Burmese and whatever stray outdoor cats that have decided to adopt us on any given day. The cute puppy in the picture is Jake, our Elhew-bred English Pointer that we brought home on Easter weekend 2007. I've also got 2 painted turtles named Dennis and Fuzz, and a bunch of fish (koi and goldfish, along with the guppies & swordtails in the turtle tank). I USUALLY eat and cook healthy, but I rarely pass up dessert, either. I do not eat red meat, and try to limit other animal products, too. I love to bake, although I seem to collect a lot of scone and biscotti recipes which I NEVER get around to making. I bake and eat A LOT of cookies and muffins... I almost always reduce the sugar by 1/4 and use whole wheat pastry flour for at least part of the flour. Those two changes do so much to make recipes healthier without compromising taste. I try to reduce fat whenever I can, too, but while I want to eat healthy, I still want to ENJOY what I eat!!! I seem to give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews here - I seem to have a pretty good sense of what I like by looking at a recipe before I try it. Thank you to anyone that tries my recipes in return, or photographs them.
