I added 1 box frozen chopped spinach, thawed squeezed dry, and 1 small pkg. fresh mushrooms coarsly chopped to the turkey and onion mixture (next time will add 2 cloves minced garlic). You need to salt and pepper the turkey mixture to taste. I used white cheddar for the cheese and added 1/4 tsp.nutmeg to the egg mixture before pouring over the top of the pie. Excellent recipe and a great base for all sorts of additions to make it unique.

I prepared this strictly by the recipe with no changes and it was fantastic. I agree with another rating that this cake improves if prepared a day ahead as the outer "crust" moistens up and flavors meld together even better. I used the leftover pineapple juice to prepare the glaze which offered a nice tangy flavor. Very impressive presentation especially on a tiered cake plate with a glass lid. Next time will try to reduce the fat grams by substituting some apple sauce as suggested by another cook.

This recipe is sure to please. It is a dressier way to prepare meatloaf and is our family's favorite. The topping is very special and spicy. I first saw this recipe over 30 years ago using 1 1/2 lbs of ground beef and formed into 6 individual loaves. These brown very nicely and with the sauce on top and lemon garnish the presentation is very nice. If in a hurry the meat mixture can be formed into a single ring and cooked in the microwave for about 10 minutes for 1 1/2 lb. beef, topping with the sauce after about 5 minutes. Garnish with lemon after cooking.
