I love meatloaf. I always have. I grew up on my mom’s homemade southern style meatloaf with mashed potatoes and green beans and man…it’s was so good!! As I’ve grown older, I’ve learned you can make many different varieties of meatloaf! It’s so versatile!! My friend Lindsay turned me onto this recipe. Lindsay always shares the most fabulous recipes that come from her Italian family (OMG check out her travel posts here), so I was super excited to receive this one! This meatloaf is turkey based and has just a hint of Italian seasoning…and oh my goodness…it’s so yummy! My husband calls it my “fancy” meatloaf!
I love that you can make this meatloaf either traditional style or gluten free. If you choose to go the gluten free route, you’ll just use gluten free breadcrumbs. I like to buy Italian gluten free breadcrumbs because you can taste just enough of the Italian herbs in every bite of your meatloaf. Ian’s makes a really fantastic gluten free Italian breadcrumbs. You can easily get these breadcrumbs here! But if you want to use plain breadcrumbs, totally fine too! It’s amazing regardless!
Look at the inside of this meatloaf. As you cut into the meatloaf, you can see the sun-dried tomatoes and parsley. There is also feta cheese that has melted and cooked in this meatloaf and with every bite you can taste the perfect combination of every ingredient. It’s so amazing…I can’t rave about this meatloaf recipe enough! Have I convinced you yet how FAB this recipe tastes?!
Let’s talk ingredients for a minute. These ingredients are simple. I typically make this meatloaf with Jennie-O 93/7 ground turkey, but I’ve also made it with Italian Style Seasoned Turkey Meat. It’s fabulous either way. As I mentioned above, this meatloaf recipe calls for breadcrumbs but you’re also going to use fresh garlic, fresh parsley, feta cheese crumbles and sun-dried tomatoes. I bet you’re wondering what’s the best side dishes to serve with the meatloaf. Well, this Feta and Sun-Dried Tomato Turkey Meatloaf recipe pairs really well with mashed potatoes. I also love green beans and corn with this recipe. Keep it simple!

Out of all my meatloaf recipes, this one is my favorite.I have another recipe for meatloaf on my site that I call my Best Ever Healthy Meatloaf Recipe if you want to check that one out, as well. If you have a Demarle flexi-loaf pan, you should use it so you don’t have to worry about greasing up a metal loaf pan. If you haven’t used Demarle yet, I can’t say enough about their silipats and flexi-pans! And no, I don’t sell Demarle…I just love their products! Check them out to make your cooking life so much easier! When I started using flexipans, my cooking got so much easier! Demarle at Home
