This meatloaf is really good! My (normally picky) kids even loved it! I didn't use fresh mushrooms or tomato soup. It came our really tasty and moist. Will definitely be making this again!!

This was awesome. I added some more veggies than suggested, as well as a little garlic and it came out amazing. It seems a little mushy, but don't be discouraged. It requires a little more time to cook, but it turns out so moist, and if you add more bread or bread crumbs, it really hikes up its modest calorie count. Can't wait to make again!

When my daughter was small (she's 30 now) I was cooking some ground turkey and she came into the kitchen and asked me what I was cooking because it smelled like Joey (Joey was the dog). I've never cooked ground turkey since. Instead, whenever a recipe calls for it, I substutute ground chicken breast which I did here as well. I used 8 oz of chopped mushrooms and sauted them before adding them to the meat mixture. I also didn't have any Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, so I used Panko instead. I also added a bit of sriracha to the meat mixture and to the glaze along with a bit of ground coriander (to the glaze only). This came out great! Nice and firm and not mushy at all. I think the next time I make it, I will leave out the barbeque sauce because we thought it kind of overpowered the other flavors and use some mustard and brown sugar in its place. Thank you for the recipe, RACHELLUARK!

This stuff has really improved my view on turkeyloaf! My mom used to make this...stuff...that was basically a big ball of turkey...YUCK! so i convinced her to use this recipe, and my family was verrrry thankful! I thought the texture was just a wee bit...weird...coulda' just been the turkey...but yeah, EVERYBODY in my family loves it! it's their favorite meatloaf recipe now. I didn't have the onion soup mix so i added a bunch of finely minced onions. I also added garlic powder and basil. And i think next time i'll cut the stuff on top in half...it's a little bit to much barbque-y stuff. Rachel, thank you EVERsomuch for posting this! :D

It had too much of a barbeque taste and waaaay too much bread crumbs. I feel like 1/2 to 3/4 cup is enough. I'll give it a try again with modifications, but not one of my favorites.

This is wonderful, best meatloaf I have ever had. I did change the recipe just a little due mainly to what I had on hand. Instead of using the seasoned breadcrumbs I used a cup and a half of cooked white rice. Also I did not have the tomato soup so I used a can of no salt tomato sauce. Using the rice instead of breadcrumbs made it a little harder to handle so I just put the mixture in the pan and then shaped the loaf. I made the sauce for the top just as stated but with the tomato sauce and I added Parmesan shaker cheese to the tomato sauce. This helps thicken the tomato sauce and adds a little zing. Thanks for sharing as this is really great. muzz2005

I'm fairly new to making meat loaf cause I always hated my moms. Anyway, I thought this had a really great flavor. I did change a few things. I had some left over crushed tomatos so I substituted those for the soup. I also added about 2 tablespoons of green onions and about a third of a yellow bell pepper for color. Turned out great!!

I was suprised with how good this was only because after the 45 mins I checked it to see if it was "done enough" and it looked undercooked. I baked it for another 20 mins and it still had that under done feel so I figured that's how its supposed to be. My meat thermometer had just broke annd I had not had a chance to get another one. I also thought the texture would be a little mushy but it wasn't. My husdand and I have been working on eating healthier and moving on from ground beef and using ground turkey instead and this was the first recipe with ground turkey that I have used. My husband is a huge meat loaf fan and is very picky and he absolutely loved this. The only thing I did differently was add more mushrooms. I definitely give this 5 starts!
