Notes
Notes:
Keep leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freeze the meatloaf raw or cooked wrapped tightly in plastic wrap. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Bake as directed.
Do not freeze if the meat was previously frozen.
The combination of ground beef and turkey makes the meatloaf tender, not dense and adds lots of flavor.
If you don't have a loaf pan, shape the mixture into two logs on a baking sheet or in a casserole dish. Pour the sauce over top, or create an indention so the sauce stays in place.
