Here's a meatloaf recipe that can be served at family meals or fancy dinners. Start with our ground turkey breast or our unique ground turkey (a mix of white and dark meat). Mix in warm spices, apple sauce, toasted pine nuts, and raisins and top with a tomato-dijon-vinegar glaze that adds another layer of flavor and makes for a pretty presentation. Slice your meatloaf and serve with mashed potatoes and your favorite vegetables or make incredible sandwiches on crusty bread with a little extra glaze spooned over the meatloaf.
