   Thank you, Kristen for nice and easy recipe. Have a great day!

2. Denise says:

   This looks delish! My family has eaten ground turkey for the past 7 years without missing beef at all! If you season it right it can go in pretty much any dish that calls for ground beef. And so much healthier!

5. Trish - Mom On Timeout says:

   Ground turkey IS such an easy substitution isn't it? I need to do that more often and this meatloaf looks like a delicious way to start :) Pinned!

6. Sarah says:

   Did you use a regular bread pan (9x5)? It looks a lot thinner than that in the picture. So glad to find recipes with turkey, we made the switch about 6 months ago and love it!!! Thanks!

7. Cyd says:

   We used a regular bread/loaf pan. 9x5

8. Kayllie says:

   Thank you for this recipe! Trying it tonight, & excited to see how it turns out. We love turkey in our house. :)

9. laurie says:

   This looks delicious but the diet we are on, we can not add the sugar or the oatmeal.Are there substitute ingredients we can try?We can not add sugar or grains/bread/etc to our food.Thank you so much!

10. Cyd says:

    Sorry, we have only made this as the recipe directs.

11. Robin says:

    Are these the quick cooking oats?

12. Cyd says:

    Any oats will work. We usually use quick quaker oats.

13. Tiffany G. says:

    Perfection! Everyone loved it. Thank you for the recipe. It is a keeper!

14. Cristina says:

    Is 1lb good for a family of 4 my husband two young children and myself?

15. Cyd says:

    Yes, 1 pound is just right for a family of that size. Have a great day!!

16. Stella says:

    Love the meatloaf! It is easy to make and tastes delicious!

17. Jacque says:

    Thank you for the recipe, I'm looking forward to making it!! Is the oatmeal cooked that you call for in your recipe?

18. Cyd says:

    No, don't cook the oatmeal. Just add the dry oats.

19. Shannon says:

    Has anyone tried making this without the brown sugar? Will it still be good without it?

20. Shannon says:

    I made it with coconut palm sugar which is supposed to be a healthier alternative for brown sugar. It is really good, but not sure if it is that much better for you.

21. Sheri says:

    Looks great. I have made many versions and can't wait to try this one. I usually add grated carrot.

22. Kathy says:

    My husband was diagnosed as being allergic to beef. Thanks for The recipe as I've been wanting some meatloaf. I am always searching for new chicken recipes and ground turkey recipes, your website does the trick for that thank you!

25. elf says:

    Preparation hint.. put the ingredients in a gallon zip lock bag.. then you can mix away with your hands without getting all messy.. and it rolls out right into your meatloaf pan so easily..

26. susie says:

    Could I substitute steal cut oats from the regual oats ?

27. Cyd says:

    Hi Susie. We have not tried steel cut oats in this recipe. You can substitute steel oats for rolled oats in a lot of recipes. Follow the directions on your package. Some steel cut oats need to soak first to absorb liquid. Let us know how it all turns out.

    Recipe: (The Best!) Healthy Banana Bread

    I want to make this tonight, but don't have tomato soup in my pantry....has anyone tried this with tomato sauce or marinara as a substitute?

29. Candy Glaser says:

    When you say green onions do you use both white and green parts and also can I use bread crumbs instead of oatmeal.

30. Cyd says:

    We use all of the white part and chop some of the green too. But only about 1/3 of the whole length of the onion. We haven't made it with bread crumbs. Only oatmeal.

31. Joy Dauble says:

    I made this again last night & have probably made it close to a dozen times since found this recipe. It's a real winner with my husband. This time he said,"This is so good. Just, so good. You know, it breaks my heart that the rest of the world hasn't gotten to experience the wonder of this meatloaf." Lol... I told him I got the recipe from a blog, so at least some other people have experienced it, though maybe not the whole world just yet. Anyway, I love this recipe. It's easy & delicious!

32. Cyd says:

    Hi Joy! Thanks for your nice comment! You made our day! :)

33. Tasha says:

    I'm making this tonight!! I omitted the sugar, and I added some veggies too (chopped kale, and bell pepper, and I used a regular white onion because I didn't have green)Well see how it turns out!! I have 3 little ones, so if they approve, you know it's good!! ...and the verdict is....IT WAS GOOD!!!! I probably should have used some extra oatmeal since it was pretty moist and fell apart easily because of the added veggies. But despite its imperfect meatloaf form once transferred to the plate, it was a winner and all 3 kids, even the toddler cleared their plates!!

34. Jessica says:

    Anyone know if you can make it the night before and just bake it the day you are going to eat it?

35. Cyd says:

    You can totally make it the day before and put it in the refrigertor until ready to cook.

36. Rain says:

    I accidentally used all of the green part of the onion bunch.:-/Do you think it will be edible?

37. Cyd says:

    It will be fine! :)

38. Nancy says:

    Thanks for this recipe. I had some ground turkey in my fridge, and I didn't really have a good recipe to use. Then I found this recipe! I used this recipe as inspiration: added in some veggies (that needed to be used up), substituted some ketchup and marinara for the tomato soup, and used brown sugar. The meatloaf turned out great! In fact, making it a second time this week.Next I am trying out your recipe for the lasagna-stuffed peppers!

39. Stacy B. says:

    I tried this recipe and it didn’t come out firm. I don’t know what I did wrong?

40. Amy says:

    What fat percentage did you use for ground turkey?

41. Cyd says:

    We usually buy Jenni-O which is 90-93 percent lean ground turkey.

42. Beth says:

    In the directions it says to cook for 90 minutes? Is that correct as it seems a bit long for only 1 lb of turkey Thanks so much!

43. Cyd says:

    Place the meatloaf in the oven and bake for 90 minutes or until it is fully cooked and the inside isn’t pink. It should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. You could check it after one hour and see if it needs additional cooking time, or if it's done.

44. Summer says:

    I don’t have the 2 eggsOr the tomato soup What can I use as a substitute ? How much calories is in this meal and what is the serving size .Also if I use marinara or tomato sauce as a substitute how much would I use ?

45. Cyd says:

    Hi Summer. I'm thinking you might be better off trying to come up with a recipe using the ingredients you have on hand. If you substitute too many ingredients for this meatloaf, it is no longer meatloaf. We love to do Shelf/Pantry cooking and try to create recipes with what we have on hand. It's becoming more popular with many during quarantine.

46. Rose says:

    I dont have green onions can i sub. It with white or yellow onions? And what about the soup ::do i just pour from can or mix it with a liquid like milk or water thanks

47. Cyd says:

    You can sub in any onions. And just follow the recipe as written. It says to add the soup. NO diluting it with anything.

48. Merrick Roe says:

    I love this Recipe so much.

49. S.B.Ronan says:

    Making this tonight! I’m so happy to have found a recipe that’s gluten free with ground Turkey. I subbed yellow onion for green and steak sauce for the Worcestershire sauce. Also did tomato sauce instead of soup! Hope it’s yummy!

50. Dedra says:

    Mine wasn’t firm either. Just fell apart. I am wondering why you need two eggs. I’ve never made a one pound meatloaf with more than one egg. Great flavor though.

51. Sue says:

    Thanks for sharing this recipe! I did not have the tomato soup but substituted an equivalent amount of tomato/basil pasta sauce and it worked great! That means I also used it 'plain' as a topping. Usually I don't comment when I change a recipe, but if you are in a pinch and want to try it, it works.

52. Liz P says:

    Same here…I even use 2kbs of meat and didn’t double the stuff. Was VERY LOOSE…

53. Tammy says:

    I am trying this recipe tonight but I don’t have tomato soup? I have tomato bisque soup or tomato sauce? Would either of these be ok?

54. Fiona says:

    This looked great and was really looking forward to but but I'm not too sure what I did wrong. Followed the recipe 100% but it looks nothing like the picture. Horrible wet texture that just fell apart, also the sauce/topping started to burn after just 30 mins.

    

55. Momma Cyd says:

    Tomato Bisque soup might be your best bet.

56. M. V. Tolman says:

    This is the 3rd time I’ve made this for my family. We love this turkey version of meatloaf! We also add chopped onions and celery along with shredded carrots and Parmesan cheese.

    

57. Jeanette Marie says:

    My family loves this recipe! The only one I use. The only ingredient I don’t use is the brown sugar but it’s still great!

    

58. Kathy P. says:

    The flavor was really good. The texture was very mushy and off-putting for our taste. I am thinking the meat to oatmeal ratio is the problem. I am not giving up on your terrific recipe but will try to tweak it a bit so it has a firmer texture. I loved the use of tomato soup!

59. Robin Montez says:

    I made the turkey meatloaf tonight. And I must say it was delicious. Whenever I am going to make meatloaf I always use this recipe. It come out perfect every time. So I go to your recipes when I need a little help. Thank you Robin

    

60. Momma Cyd says:

    You are so welcome Robin!! Thanks for taking the time to leave us a comment on the meatloaf. So glad the family loves it!

61. B. Kearney says:

    This is one of our favorite dinners! Everyone who tries it loves this meatloaf! Even people who don't typically like ground turkey.
