Moist turkey meatloaf recipe made with oats, instead of bread! This meatloaf recipe will have the family begging for seconds!
My husband LOVES meatloaf I’ve been trying to think of many ways to get this man to eat less beef, and try a little ground beef once in a while. He’s so stubborn, and set in his ways and refused to eat any ground turkey! I had a trick up my sleeve. I knew that If I could make meatloaf, which is his favorite food, out of ground turkey and beg him to sample just a forkful “for my blog” he’d do it. Honey! let me tell you- not only did this man sample my turkey meatloaf, but he asked me to make him a plate, AND went back for seconds! I finally got him to eat ground turkey! Not only did he eat it, but he enjoyed it and asked me to make it again! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
This turkey meatloaf is amazing ( just ask my turkey hating hubby!). It’s full of flavor, and it’s super moist. It’s low in fat, and it’s a lot lighter than the traditional meatloaf which is made of ground beef. So I guess we can call this a healthy turkey meatloaf recipe right? LOL.
Try this turkey meatloaf recipe, and serve it with homemade creamy mashed potatoes!

Hi. This looks delicious! Did you use instant oatmeal?
Hi there! I used quick oats.
I am deathly afraid to cook meatloaf. I tried one time and my husband said it was dry and greasy at the same time. I’m going to attempt this recipe this week. What type of pan should I use?
Hi DaNeetra!
The video tutorial was missing ( sorry about that!). Check out the video, I show the pan, and etc.
I’m stuck between trying this meatloaf and the best ever meatloaf!! Either way it will turn out great! Every recipe of yours I tried so far has been excellent! Keep up the good work and thank you lots 🙂
Rosie I made your meat loaf and my hubby looooved it. He even went back for seconds. He told me my cooking is getting better and better. I was to scared to tell him. I got my recipe from another woman lol… I will tell him eventually. The funny thing is my hubby don’t care for ground beef or meatloaf. That’s why I came to this recipe cause he loves ground turkey. Hoping he’ll give meatloaf another chance. He told me if I keep cooking out like this he’ll eat it . Thank for ur help. My new way of making meatloaf
I am very happy with this recipe. I like the idea of using oatmeal. I make it for myself so freezing portions is necessary but should not be a problem. Thank you!
