I didn't add celery b/c I didn't have any. I used 1/2 t of dry basil b/c I didn't have fresh. I also put ketchup on top instead of the soup. Turned out great! Next time I may try using dry onion soup instead of onion only b/c my husband doesn't care for them. I will be making this again!

Yum yum yum. This recipe was super easy. I substituted green peppers for the celery and used tomato sauce and ketchup instead of the soup. I also used condensed milk instead of regular milk which was fine.

This meatloaf is moist and delicious. The only change I made was that I used only one stalk of celery. The soup on top created a nice sauce for the meatloaf.

I substituted ketchup for the tomato soup and just covered the top of the loaf. I also added the milk as need so the loaf would not be to wet. Came out great! Thanks for sharing!

I really liked this! It went over very well with my roomie who I made dinner for. I made some small changes - I omitted the milk & celery as I didn't have any, but I did add a little bit of BBQ sauce to the mixture. Then I poured the soup overtop. I cooked it for 45 mins covered then about another 14 uncovered. It sits in a lot of liquid but the meatloaf itself wasn't too moist or loose it was nice and tight and there was lots of yummy sauce to pour over it! I'll definitely make this again, it was easy to make, standard ingredients I almost always have on hand, and it's moderately healthy! Thanks Melissa, this rocks!

I added apple slices on top and mixed ketchup with a little bit of brown sugar. It came out fantastic! Also added a bit of fresh rosemary to the meat to match with the apples. Yum! Next time I will add a bit more bread crumbs like the other reviews note, and pre-cook the minced onions. Thanks for a great, healthy recipe.

This was very good, but I made changes the second time around. I omitted the celery (which I hate), but added grated carrot & zucchini (about 1/4 c. each). Omitted the basil & used poultry seasoning instead. Used ketchup instead of the tomato soup, which I felt made the meatloaf too moist. These changes may not suit everyone, but friends & family loved it, even those that thought the turkey might be too dry.

This is a great turkey meatloaf. I made it last week and again this week...and I usually don't repeat recipes that quick. My family loved it. I did substitute ketchup for the tomato soup on top.

I followed this recipe fairly closely and I found it to be ok at best. I did read through prior reviews and took some advice. First and foremost, too much garlic! I might use a garlic press in the future and cut back to 2 small cloves or 1 big clove. Time was a factor and I didn't not saute the celery and onions and that was a big mistake unless you like a crunch to your meatloaf. I did reduce celery to one stalk and it was still a lot. I used ketchup instead of soup which was fine. I threw in splash of milk for moisture, though not the 1/4 cup. I added 30 minutes to the cook time based on a meat thermometer reading and the consistency of the meat was perfect. I think it's a good base recipe worth tinkering with.

I made the recipe as indicated and it was quite good. Later I varied it: instead of tomato soup, I used cream of celery, and added some sage, rosemary, thyme, and a bit of high-quality chicken bouillon, and I think it was even better: moreover, it actually tasted like turkey-- which is nice for a change (instead of trying to get the turkey to taste like beef). I suppose cream of chicken would do well also, as well as using ground chicken in addition to, or in place of, the turkey.
