Whenever I serve this meal, my husband's face lights up.

Turkey stuffing meatloaf is one of those comforting dishes that brings back memories of family gatherings and holiday dinners. It's a delightful twist on the classic meatloaf, incorporating the flavors of Thanksgiving stuffing into a weeknight meal. This recipe is perfect for those who love the taste of the holidays but want something easy and quick to prepare. The combination of ground turkey and stuffing mix results in a moist, dense, and crumbly texture that's sure to please everyone at the table.

This turkey stuffing meatloaf pairs beautifully with classic sides like mashed potatoes and green beans. For a lighter option, consider serving it with a fresh garden salad or roasted vegetables. A dollop of cranberry sauce on the side can add a sweet and tangy contrast that complements the savory flavors of the meatloaf.

Servings: 6

1 lb ground turkey
1 cup stuffing mix
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 egg
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup ketchup

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large bowl, combine the stuffing mix and chicken broth. Let it sit for a few minutes until the broth is absorbed.

Add the ground turkey, egg, onion, celery, salt, pepper, sage, and garlic powder to the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined.

Transfer the mixture to a greased loaf pan, pressing it down evenly.

Spread the ketchup over the top of the meatloaf.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

For a bit of a kick, try adding a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce or a dash of hot sauce to the mixture. You can also swap out the ground turkey for ground chicken or a lean ground beef if you prefer. If you're looking to add more veggies, consider mixing in some grated carrots or chopped bell peppers. For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free stuffing mix and ensure all other ingredients are gluten-free.
