My Favorite Pork Turkey Meatloaf

I love this recipe. My kids and husband all asked me to make it again and the leftovers were gone before noon the next day. I didn’t use the spinach because I was sneaking the veggies past the kids and didn’t have ant to give it away with the color. I doubled the sauce on top and accidentally added 1 tablespoon of honey to the mixture for the loaf as well. I thought I had ruined it, but it was actually delicious. It’s a fantastic recipe. The meatloaf is moist and tasty and everyone loved it.

Wow 10 stars from my family - they loved it. I use recipes like this as an opportunity to clean out the fridge. I had an orange and yellow bell pepper and fresh spinach that had seen better days and needed to be used up. I had no carrots but threw in a shallot. More fresh garlic since we love it. I also had 2 whole wheat hot dog buns that I toasted and crunched up for the bread crumbs. Threw in some wheat bran although a lot less of both crumbs and wheat bran, since I felt like the 1 cup of dry was too much. Used less salt and added some granulated garlic (we are garlic nuts) also a few dashes of Cholula. On the top I just squirted ketchup. Cooked it in my pampered chef mini loaf stone for around 40 minutes. I love that thing for meatloaf! Taking it to my mom -she's going to love having meatloaf in the freezer she can just heat it up. Great recipe to customize to your families preferences/seasonings.

I was looking for an alternative to beef meatloaf and this is it! I had 1/2 lb. of ground chicken, 1/2 lb. of ground pork, and 1/2 lb. of ground turkey left over from making Dora's Baked Spaghetti. I doubled the topping sauce as recommended by others. Used half a bag of fresh spinach had on hand, didn't have any bell peppers. Put all the vegetables in the food processor and pureed. Then I sauteed them in pan in oil until tender. Used a breadcrumb topping with bacon and pepitos left from another recipe for the crumbs. Used one tsp. Lawry's hot'n'spicy seasoned salt and 1 tsp. regular salt. Caution, don't be alarmed, when I mixed the spinach vegetable mix with the meats, it was green! Looked fine after cooking. Meatloaf was moist without falling apart, flavorful and never missed the beef!

Pretty good meatloaf. I like mixing pork with other meats--gives it a nice flavor. I have to say, though, that I like more tomato flavor in my meatloaf (mine usually has tomato sauce or paste in it and on top), and I'd probably add more veggies if I made this again. I think I'd also puree the veggies in the food processor instead of dicing and cooking them. I baked in my meatloaf pan since I hate to pass up a chance to use the thing (I use it so rarely!). Still, we enjoyed this. Bf added salt and pepper to his--apparently he thought he needed some more--but I thought it was good on it's own. Thanks for the recipe!
