I have yet to try making a meatloaf. When I saw the National Meatloaf Appreciation Day event at Serious Eats I thought it was the perfect opportunity to try making a meatloaf. But what kind of meatloaf to make? After searching the web for a while I came across this tasty sounding recipe for a turkey and chipotle meat loaf. Making the meat loaf was super easy! Just mix everything and bake for an hour. The meat loaf turned out to be pretty tasty. It was nice and moist and full of flavour. I topped it with some salsa and I am thinking that some sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese would also be nice. Given that it requires two pounds of ground meat to fill a 9×5 inch loaf pan I now have a lot of leftovers that will make quick lunches for the rest of the week.

Your turkey loaf looks moist…most times ground turkey can be dry…you succeeded.
I also like the use of oats…reminds me of haggis.
Hi,
I really enjoy your blog – the recipes look delicious and original.. and I can relate to having to cook in a closet size kitchen! My boyfriend and I live in Montreal and our kitchen is barely big enough for the 2 of us.. so I understand the challenge!
