I almost always use oatmeal! Once in a while for a change I’ll use crumbs of some sort, but I was raised on oatmeal.

I use an egg as well as some milk. The egg acts as a binder along with the bread crumbs (dry or fresh, depending on my mood) while the milk adds moisture and bit of flavor.

I mix ketchup with a generous amount of Tabasco and put it on top, then thinly sliced tomatoes over that

Dinner yesterday. Tasty meatloaf, nice bakery bread.

I’d go with boogiebaby on mixing in something like brown sugar or palm sugar, as the few times I’ve drizzled ketchup alone, it never really seemed to glaze well. I do use ketchup on the side when plating, though.

I’m making a ground turkey meatloaf with a maple bbq glaze tomorrow. I add fresh chopped parsley, egg yolk, breadcrumbs, fine diced carrot, onion and celery. Side of roasted sweet potato.

This topic has me craving all sorts of meals.

My wife’s recipe is at about 19 in this thread, Saregama. Key is using just enough liquid to have the prepped meatloaf moist, but not “loose”.

I’m not so sure I would add water to ground poultry since its already pretty wet. Thoughts?

I agree.

No - agreed

I like a mix of Worcestershire sauce and ketchup with meatloaf. The Worcestershire gives it a little tanginess so it’s not all sweet ketchup.

Again I go by the overall consistency, I like the meat to have a soft smooth feel…thus if the turkey has more moisture, then you can also add more binder…

And it depends on the turkey you use. If you use all white meat it’s dryer. Shady Brook now makes an 80% turkey meat that I like, but even their mix of light and dark is moister than the all white meat.
