Turkey and Quinoa Meatloaf
AWESOME. This is the first meatloaf I ever made and I loved it. Husband complained it was not the right color for meatloaf, there's no pleasing some people. I used less sugar and less hot sauce than suggested, and next time I think I will add more garlic and salt, and add some herbs. Would love to try cheese as well.

The Best Meatballs
I made this with ground turkey, and only had regular breadcrumbs available. I had to edit my previous review as I just realized had the proportions wrong last time. It actually had good flavor with twice the seasonings, but consistency was terrible with half the meat. ;-) Now that I've got it right, this is definitely replacing my usual meatball recipe.

Grandma's Sloppy Joes
I made this with ground turkey, I loved how it easy it was. I added garlic because I was short on onion, and left out the cloves since I have none. I also went easy on the green pepper as my husband doesn't love them. I think the small amount I used was perfect. I hadn't had sloppy joes in about 30 years, but heard a report that my 2-year old liked them. Unfortunately he's fickle and didn't touch it, but my husband and I thought it was pretty good. I might try all spice and maybe leave out the sugar next time.
