If you love turkey meatloaf and enchiladas, you’ll love this Enchilada Turkey Meatloaf, a fun twist on the weeknight classic.
Enchilada Turkey Meatloaf
At my husband’s request, we make turkey meatloaf at home at least once a month. I love getting creative with it because there are many ways to switch it up. This moist ground turkey meatloaf is studded with corn, black beans, and green chiles and topped with enchilada sauce, jalapeño, and cheese. Some other healthy meatloaf recipes you will love are this Cheese-Stuffed Turkey Meatloaf or this Sheet Pan Turkey Meatloaf and Broccoli dish.
I’m always looking for new and exciting ways to use up a package of ground turkey, which is much leaner than beef. When it comes to meatloaf we have learned to prefer ground turkey to beef. For other ideas you can see all my ground turkey recipes from the archives.
Binder to hold ground turkey meatloaf together
To keep ground turkey meatloaf from falling apart, you must use enough binders to keep it together. I use a half-cup of quick oats and an egg for this recipe. You can also use breadcrumbs in there place.
What temperature should meatloaf be cooked at?
I cook turkey meatloaf at 350F degrees for 55 to 60 minutes. The best way to check that it is cooked through is with a meat thermometer, which should read 165 degrees.
Side dish ideas for turkey meatloaf
Here are some Latin-inspired side dish ideas to serve with this enchilada meatloaf:
- Rice: Cilantro Lime Rice, Latin Yellow Rice
- Vegetables: Skillet Mexican Zucchini, Cilantro-Lime Roasted Cauliflower, Mexican Cauliflower Rice
How to freeze:
Meatloaf lasts in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days and is great for freezing. For meal prep, you can make two – one to eat for dinner and one to freeze for later. It takes about the same amount of time to double the recipe, and the meatloaves can bake together.
To freeze, let the meatloaf cool and slice it. Then place the slices in a freezer- safe container with pieces of parchment paper in between so they don’t freeze together. When you’re ready to eat, pull out as many slices as needed, thaw in the refrigerator overnight, and reheat in the microwave.
Enchilada Turkey Meatloaf Variations:
- Meat: Swap ground turkey for lean ground beef.
- Enchilada Sauce: Make your enchilada sauce from scratch or buy it premade to save time. Leftover sauce is delicious on chicken-rice bowls, spaghetti squash, and of course, enchiladas.
- Oats: Use an equal amount of breadcrumbs instead of oats. For a low- carb, grain-free option, go with almond meal.
- Beans: Sub pinto beans for black beans or omit if you’re not a fan.
- Corn: Omit if desired.
- Herbs: If you don’t like cilantro, skip it.
- Spiciness: If your family does not like spicy food, omit the jalapeños on top.

Notes
- Slow Cooker Method: Cut parchment paper to about 15-inch x 9 1/2-inches to easily insert and remove the meatloaf from your slow cooker.
- Place the loaf onto the parchment paper vertically then holding the edges of the paper, carefully insert into an oval 5-6 quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on low 6 hours or high 3 hours.
- Pull the loaf out of the slow cooker with the parchment and set aside on a dish. Drain any liquid from the bottom of the slow cooker and wipe the insert clean with a paper towel. Transfer the loaf back into the slow cooker with the parchment, cover with enchilada sauce, cheese and jalapeño.
- Cover and cook low heat until the cheese is melted, about 10 to 15 minutes.

Love this recipe! Has so much flavor and was enjoyed by everyone!
I have reviewed this once before but I had to come back and review again because I ate the frozen leftovers tonight. This is delicious and just as delicious from the freezer (thawed). I can’t wait to make it again.
Thanks JB!
Great recipe! Sometimes I don’t like meatloaf made with turkey but this one is excellent! Flavorful and I especially loved the addition of corn and beans. I will be making it again.
I have been making various meatloafs for my husband’s lunches, in an effort to avoid processed meats. I’ve made so many different types and this one is the very best of all. We are both so impressed! The only thing I changed was black eyed peas for the black beans. It was just a matter of what was in the pantry, but we both thought they tasted great! If you had 10 stars we would give it a 10! It slices beautifully and doesn’t crumble.
Ummm….OMG!!! This was so AMAZING! I love Gina and her recipes, but this one was extra special. How can you get so much flavor and still be healthy? I don’t know, but I love this recipe!
Thanks Diana! Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved this! So good. I liked mine with extra sauce.
My husband and I tried this meatloaf exactly how the recipe reads and had the Mexican zucchini as suggested with it. We loved it! Perfect amount of heat and the flavors are amazing! This will be a new addition to our meal rotation. Love! Love! I cook with your recipes all the time and they never disappoint.
Thanks Leah!
Loved it! I substituted whole wheat breadcrumbs for the oats, and black lentils for the beans, and this was one of the best meatloafs I’ve every made. I cut back the green chiles to 1/2 a can and was sorry I didn’t add in the whole can. I’d cut back on the sauce topping next time, it ended up just creating a puddle around the loaf.
I followed directions except eliminated corn & added small can of sliced black olives. Had to cook an extra 15 min due to too much meat juice. Used the 93% as was called for. End product was delicious!
Can I leave out the beans?
Can anyone tell me if they’ve made this in the slow cooker and how long it takes?
I just did last night!! I put in on low for 6 hours. Was delish!!
I absolutely love this recipe and have made it several times!! It has soooooo much flavor and is perfect for meal prep to take to lunch everyday.
We love this recipe! I use ground chicken instead of turkey just because of flavor preference. I also omit the cilantro and sub in a few teaspoons of dried Mexican oregano. Using homemade enchilada sauce is a must! Everyone we share this recipe with loves it, too.
This is a family favorite! It tastes great and is a breeze to put together. We serve it with either a salad or some rice and beans. This one’s a keeper!
I am very grateful for you and what you do. This recipe is truly amazing. Thank you
Delicious meatloaf. Will make again, served it with cilantro lime rice and green beans. Even better the next day for lunch. I used ground chicken over turkey and no jalapeño’s, it was great, so flavorful. Thank you Skinny Taste, you never fail. I have all of your cookbooks, so glad I came across this one in my email.
Thanks Nancy! Glad you enjoyed it!
DELICIOUS!
My new favorite. I subbed turkey for chicken and omitted the cilantro. So tasty. My husband thoroughly enjoyed. I’ve been ranting over this recipe and sharing with my friends and colleagues.
Any ideas if I can cook this with an Airfryer?
This is so tasty! I used green enchilada sauce because that’s what I had on hand. I used this for my meal prep for the week. I saved this recipe in my favorites.
What can I substitute quick oats with?
This was amazing! The whole family loved it. Definitely a keeps and will be making it again!
This is one of our favorite recipes. Only 1 point on the new WW plan!
Thanks!
Love this, so excited it’s lower points! Gina, you say now 2 points but when you hit the WW button and it takes you to the app, it still says 6pts, FYI!
I generally dislike like ground turkey and am usually disappointed with recipes that use it but this is delicious! It has the texture and flavor of ground beef!
This is one of my favorite of Gina’s recipes. I’ve made it many times with just one pound of turkey and a whole can of black beans. I add grated zucchini w liquid thoroughly squeezed out and increase the enchilada sauce to 4T ish and it comes out great. I check w meat thermometer, take out at 145 degrees, add cheese and sauce, broil to melt cheese and serve with additional enchilada sauce. I only use Gina’s homemade enchilada sauce – I make a big batch, it’s so easy and way better than store bought. I freeze and use it for this recipe, enchiladas, tacos and whatever i can.
This meatloaf is so flavorfull and yummy. Its a great alternative to a classic meatloaf, an d it really has the enchilada vibe
This looks delicious! Thanks for sharing.
Easy to make, super flavorful and moist!
Looks great! Can you freeze before cooking it?
I’m not really a meatloaf lover, but I crave this one. It’s SO delicious. I make the homemade enchilada sauce. It’s totally worth the extra step.
Thanks Cindi!
So easy and delicious!
Absolutely delicious! I had hot enchilada sauce and it was soo good though I didn’t put the jalapeños on top because of it. I will be making this many times! I used ground chicken breast and it was still moist and wonderful!
Savory and delicious!
This was really, really good! Great flavors and super moist! Easy to follow recipe with simple ingredients. Thank you!
This was really good. I made with Ground Beef because husband won’t eat turkey.
I didn’t serve with extra sauce and I should have.
I don’t like ground turkey so I always make this with ground chicken and it’s freaking fantastic! Thanks for sharing
Tasty. I, too, used panko instead of oats. Will be trying this again
Honestly delicious. Had to sub breadcrumbs for the oats, but otherwise followed closely. Husband loved it, too!
Delicious!!! My husband loved it. Will definitely make it again!
I love all recipes I have made!
Thank you!!!!
Thanks Mary!
Fantastic, my wife loved it.
Absolutely delicious! Every ingredient has a purpose that shines through. I think I could have picked through it all night long. Bravo!
Very good. An easy, delicious weekday meal.
Great taste, especially the sauce. My husband loved it!
Made this hoping meatloaf hating husband would change his mind. He asked when I was going to make it again about a week later! Keeper. Goes great with Gina’s Yellow Rice recipe and greens. Thanks for another great recipe.
Yay! Perfect!
I LOVE your site and have relied on your tasty recipes for years!! This was so delicious and unique – my husband and I LOVED it! Definitely drizzle more enchilada sauce on top – I’d you like Mexican flavor, this recipe will be a smash hit!
So yummy and super easy! Thank for all your recipes, i just love them, especially as we are trying to eat much healthier as a family. Will be a regular on our rotation and for meal prep 😁
This is delicious, my whole family loved it, and it was so satisfying.
This recipe is so good. Making it for the third time! Perfect comfort food and something different.
I made this for the first time and it was delicious!
Another winning recipe! I used 2 lb of ground beef instead because that’s what I had on hand and I left out the jalapenos, cilantro and scallions (We are a house of picky eaters lol). But it still turned out delicious and is going into the rotation!
This is really tasty! Didn’t have enchilada sauce, so I made some. I love your recipes, and they prove you can have good taste without a million calories.
This recipe is amazing! I made this last week and making it again now! I made homemade refried beans with it, will definitely save this recipe!
First time making this, and won’t be the last! My guys absolutely loved it and so did I!
Obsessed with this recipe feels like an understatement. So good and so easy to make. Great weeknight meal!
Easy to make and bursting with flavor!
Absolutely delicious! Not too spicy. Will definitely make it again!
This is a wonderful meatloaf and so moist. My family loved it
Made this and thought it was really good. I will definitely make it again. The only change I would make would be to add some cheese to the meatloaf mixture as well as what is called for on top.
I believe step 2 needs to be edited to include adding cilantro.
Absolutely delicious! Have made this several times!
Gina- could this be frozen before it’s baked or does it need to be baked before freezing?
I would freeze cooked.
Love this recipe! I can share from experience that it worked very well for me to freeze this meatloaf mix (I made two small loaves from the recipe since I’m cooking for just two) and bake it after an overnight thaw in the refrigerator.
So easy and delicious. Used chicken instead of turkey, and only had rolled oats so I gave them a ride in a spice grinder. Worked well! Used Skinneytaste enchilada sauce I had in the freezer. This is another keeper!
My husband and I could sit and eat the whole recipe! Love this one.
Delish! So easy! Added chipotle peppers to the mix. Whole family had seconds! Love Skinnytaste!
Thanks Bree!
Taste just like an enchilada! I used green enchilada sauce instead of red.
I made this last night and the Chipotle Cilantro Lime Rice. This meatloaf was easy to make and delicious! My husband and I are not big fans of turkey, but I’m the cook and trying to eat better….so, I decided to give this a try. He went back for seconds. I don’t know if he realized it was turkey….lol! Thanks for your fabulous recipes!
I only have a pound too, how did you adjust?
Can you sub ground chicken for turkey?
Sure!
This was delicious! So flavorful and easy. Whole family loved it!
This is a very tasty and unique meatloaf. We all love it!!
I’m not a big fan of meat loaf, but I am a big fan of enchiladas, so I made this with considerable trepidation. Not any more. It was delicious and even tasted a bit like actual enchiladas.
I made this for dinner last night and it was AMAZING! I only made a few alterations (removed corn and jalapenos, added more beans are a couple). It was not dry at all. I got two thumbs up and a hug from my picky 5 year old! I’ll definitely be making it again. THANK YOU!!!
I had to make a couple of adjustments, mainly because I only had a pound of turkey, and sadly leaving out cilantro for my boys, but we really enjoyed this! Served with your Latin yellow rice and steamed broccoli, clean plates all around!
Are you able to mix everything together the night before you bake it?
This was SO yummy that even my 9 year old, who eats nothing but chicken fingers and cereal, ate it! I used 1 LB turkey and just adjusted the rest of the ingredients down a little. This is definitely going into permanent rotation!
I was really looking forward to making this. I didn’t dislike it but it wasn’t a 5 star for me. I thought the meatloaf itself was a bit dry. It could have used more of the enchillada sauce in the mixture. Husband liked it though.
This is so yummy and was so easy to prep for lunches this week! I did sub red enchilada for green enchilada sauce (my personal favorite), but otherwise kept the same! So yummy and will definitely be made again!!
Made this today and the whole family loved it. I used 2 lbs of ground Turkey- that was the only change.
A+
Didn’t have enchilada sauce so I just used taco sauce which I had on hand.
Made this as stated first time. Love it. Second time making this I made into burger patties, adding a little more corn and beans. Had no eggs so used a dollop of nonfat greek yogurt. Make 4 into 4 6.5 ounce patties with one pound of 93% ground turkey. We don’t have the size packages called for in the recipe here in California, so adjusted recipe accordingly. A real keeper, especially when using Gina’s enchilada sauce recipe that is so much better than the canned stuff!
Can you use regular oats versus quick oats? Are they interchangeable? I never buy quick oats.
you can scroll back through above the recipe. You can use breadcrumbs instead, that’s what I did as we have regular oats, too. It’s a great recipe. I’m going to make it as burgers today and serve bunless with her latin yellow rice and a slaw.
Quick oats are just chopped old fashioned oats? I only buy regular old fashioned oats. You can turn them into “quick oats” with a quick spin in the food processor or blender. Works great. Hope this helps!
I was wondering the same thing as I didn’t want to use bread crumbs when I have old fashioned oats. Thanks for your answer; I am moving forward now and plan to make this. What do you think of using ground beef; probably not as healthy but less expensive when Safeway has a sale.
I always use regular oats whenever oats are called for.
Can this be made with ground chicken instead?
This was delicious! I will definitely make it again! Probably as soon as next week! LOL
I made this and slimmed down the ingredients to accommodate 1lb of turkey and cooked according to the petite meatloaf recipe found in O&D. It turned out great! My toddler is a huge fan of meatloaf and while I’m not, I am a fan of enchiladas. This was excellent. A
Absolutely delicious!
I had relatives come in from out of town and even though you aren’t suppose to try new recipes for company, I tried this. Everyone loved it. It was a big success.
Outstanding! Moist, flavorful, and super easy to make. Perfect!
This is absolutely delicious! Easy prep too.
I cooked this in the crockpot and it turned out great!
Wanting to eat healthier is one thing, but when you are forced to change your diet due to a life event, it can be really difficult to find good food. So searching for flavor and pleasure in eating can be difficult to say the least. We were so happy to have found this wonderful recipe. It is delish and one of our favorites. Turkey dries out so fast, but the oats keep it very moist. Then all of the other ingredients bring it home. Excellent recipe! Thank you for this.
I am so happy you enjoyed it!
Yum. My husband was so skeptical about this recipe. First of all, he said meatloaf is supposed to be beef and then he said he didn’t think enchiladas mixed with meatloaf lol. I told him I know it’s good cause it’s from Gina. Haha you are a staple in this household. But guess who had seconds… he did. Very good, even my 3 year old liked it, who is the hardest person to please. Thanks again.
Awesome!! 🙂
Another great recipe! Really enjoyed the flavors and how easy it was to make. I added an additional half pound of turkey to use up the container and baked it for an extra 10 minutes, and it turned out perfectly. Tasted great using canned enchilada sauce.
For ground turkey this was moist and full of flavor, heated it up the next day and folded it in our omelet’s for breakfast…..Will make it again.
hi, your site came highly recommended, and i just joined weight watchers , how do i figure out how many points your recipes have ?
Welcome! There is an orange personal points button below the print button in the recipe card.
I am not surprised, but this recipe is fantastic. I cannot get over how wonderful it was. Will be adding to the rotation!
Thanks Ann! Glad you enjoyed it!
This was great! Used ground chicken instead of turkey and came out very tasty…family was VERY skeptical but we all loved dinner tonight!
Great!
I am leaving it a 5 because the flavor was really there, and I enjoyed it. My husband, on the other hand, thought it was okay. He is a meatloaf/mashed potato/gravy snob. Although he liked it, it wasn’t meatloaf to him. I plan on using the leftovers for empenadas or actual enchiladas and he was totally okay with that🤷♀️.
This was very good! I went heavier on the veggies and beans. I also subbed salsa for enchilada sauce because i had an open jar to use up. Leftovers were great too. Will definitely make again!
This dish is delicious! It tastes like a perfect combination of an enchilada and a meatloaf combined. Quite flavorful! The directions need to be fixed on where to add in the cilantro, though.
Made this tonight. Gina you never disappoint! My husband was like mmm I don’t know. I said when have your EVER not loved a Gina dish. We ate dinner and he said of course it was awesome! Served with grilled zucchini and roasted corn. Totally going in the rotation. Thanks for another hit💕
Made today. Someday, I may read the recipe before I make it and I will have all the ingredients, but even without the black beans, we loved this turkey meatloaf. For me, a turkey meatloaf needs lots of seasonings. This has more than enough. The only thing I would change is the amount of salt and yes, I used Kosher salt. It is too much, even for a salt lover as me. I made a mistake and poured the enchilada sauce and the jalapeños on while baking it. It turned out fine, but will make without until the end next time. I have to say that we only got 4 servings out of it.
Delicious! This was a great twist on meatloaf. And the sauce I like to keep on hand. I love the sauce for a quick instant pot shredded chicken dinner. Your recipes are always appreciated!
I was so excited to try this recipe and it definitely did not disappoint! I’m not a huge fan of turkey but I have learned that I actually love it in most of Gina’s recipes…and I’d say this one may just be one of my new favorites. The best part, I swear it tasted even better the next day! I must have shared the link to this recipe with almost all of my friends. Thank you for all the great recipes, Gina! 🙂
Thanks Debi!
Just wondering if you used regular cheese or reduced fat? Counting macros and trying to be exact with carbs,proteins and fats you posted. Thank you!
Regular, I would say reduced fat if that is what I used.
This was so easy and delicious! I made your enchilada sauce last night so it was ready to use tonight for the meatloaf. I put jalapenos on half so my kids could enjoy mild and my hubby and I could have a little heat. Thanks for all the great recipes!!!
Omgsh! My bf and I were so shocked at how tasty this was! A I’ve never had meatloaf in my life, and this was the first one I ever tried/made. I’m in love! This will definitely be in my weeknight dinner reptorire from now on. I love skinnytaste recipes in general but especially ones like this that are both healthy and filling. We split it between two people with no side and there’s still a slice or two leftover for lunch tomorrow. Thank you Gina for sharing!!
You never disappoint. This was super tasty and easy to make. I had to use Salsa Verde, but not enough spice. I am thinking of using your enchilada sauce from your chicken enchilada recipe. I love that sauce.
This was a hit in my house.
Just curious if anyone thinks you could make two and freeze one? I bought a three pound pack of turkey and thought it would be easy to double everything but not sure how it would be frozen?
Instructions for freezing are posted above recipe 🙂 Trying it tonight and hoping it is tasty!
So full of flavor! Delicious!
OMG this was delicious. It really tasted like an enchilada but much easier to make. I took the rest of the corn, black beans and green chilies , heated it up and ate on side with brown rice. Husband said put this on rotation when we both went for seconds! Thanks Gina!
I’m not a fan of ground turkey but this was great. We will add this to our rotation. Thanks Gina.
Made this last night and it was delicious! I didn’t realize I didn’t have a can of green chilies so I substituted jarred salsa. I served it with cilantro lime rice (yummy too). Leftovers heated nicely in the microwave. Oh yeah, I used regular oats and you didn’t notice them at all in the finished meatloaf.
This was delcious!
This was a great way to spice up my weeknight dinners! Both my husband and I enjoyed it and would make it again. We had zucchini with it; I used the Trader Joe’s ‘Everything but the Elote’ seasoning for the zucchini.
I used what I had in the house to make this. I had some leftover 99% ground turkey so I mixed that in with 93% ground turkey (bonus – less WW points too!). I didn’t have scallions so I used onions. I also didn’t have a can of green chiles so I drained some green hatch chile salsa and used that. A few subs, but I really wanted to try this. It was all good! The meatloaf was a fun twist on a traditional meatloaf and I imagine it only gets better with the actual SKTaste ingredients listed. 😆 Also, I made the SKTaste enchilada sauce – delicious and easy!
Love, love, love your recipes!!
Thanks Lizzie!
I made this meatloaf. It was delicious, my husband ate three healpings. I’m on WW and I love your recipes. I make them often.
You left the cilantro out of the instructions…
I made this tonight. It does require some time to put everything together but it is so worth it. Turkey can be somewhat bland, but this recipe is not at all. Healthy and delicious!!
Anybody reduce the turkey to one pound or round it up to 2lbs since they come in 1lb packages? Should I just increase the bread crumbs? Thanks!
Amelia, did you ever receive an answer to your question? I was wondering the same thing.
Thanks!
I scaled the recipe down to use a 1 lb package of turkey with no problem. Just multiply the amount of each ingredient by .67 and don’t worry about being too precise. I used an entire egg.
This is delicious! The entire family approved and the kids want to make sure that it goes on our list of meals to make frequently!
Just curious- when I put everything in the recipe builder, I get 1-2 points for a serving. But when I put the nutritional info in the point calculator, I get 7 points. Is that because there are 3 plans?
yes you cant use a calculator, too many 0 foods.
Can I use breadcrumbs instead of oats?
yes
I am an enchilada addict and when I saw this recipe I had to try it. You have the BEST enchilada recipes! This was such a fun and delicious spin on meatloaf. My husband made me promise I will make this again. Thank you for sharing!
Wow! This has immediately become our favorite ground turkey recipe – so flavorful and moist. Followed directions exactly except for scaling it to use 1 lb of meat. I made your enchilada sauce – already a household favorite – and served two SkinnyTaste sides – cilantro lime rice and roasted carrots with ginger.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was really good! I cooked mine on a Traeger grill set at 350 and followed the instructions for time from the recipe. I used the Traeger because I had it going for something else and decided to take advantage of it being ready to go. Thanks Gina for another great recipe.
I forgot I used Panko bread crumbs because that is what I had, worked fine.
Absolutely loved this recipe. My only gripe is opening a can of corn and a can of black beans and only using a small amount. But that’s a minor thing. I can use them soon. My husband loved it!
You could probably do the salsa Verde chicken bowl for an easy lunch or on a different day
I’m making this for a meal train drop off. I would like to make individual portions so they could freeze if they have too much food at once. Should I just bake for a shorter time?
yes!
This was delicious. Followed the recipe exactly with the exception of leaving out the corn because the husband has a weird corn texture aversion lol. Love this twist on meatloaf. Served with Mexican rice and salad. Thank you! Will definitely be adding this to the rotation. 🙂
This is VERY VERY good!! It’s got a ton of flavor and is not dry at all. I served it with a sautéed combination of fresh corn cut from the cob and zucchini with garlic salt. Big hit and very easy weeknight dinner! Thanks Gina!
Has anyone tried it with green enchilada sauce? Tomatoes bother my stomach so I thought about tying with green sauce?? Gina, any thoughts? Thx so much!
I haven’t tried it, but I think it would be fine. Let me know if you try it! 🙂
Trying it with mine! Don’t know. Yet its still in the oven. Will let you know
Just finished seconds – green for the win 🤓
I made it with green sauce and it came out great!
Could we get an idea on the serving size in ounces or grams?
If I take the beans out, should I replace with a different ingredient?
No need.
Made this last night with your cilantro lime rice and loved it. With the remains of the bought ingredients I plan to make the quinoa enchilada bake later this week.
I would love to make this and get the WW points down. Do you think it would be awful with 99% fat free turkey?
I think it will be too dry.
You could try adding an egg to it.
Absolutely delicious! We all love it!
I wasn’t quite sure how my husband and I were going to like this recipe. We loved it and I will make it again. I omitted the black beans and added a little shredded cheese to the mix.
This tastes just like enchiladas! Delish.
This was INSANELY good!!
GREAT!!!
Could we get how freestyle points this is. Not using weight watches new point system
Theres no way for me to get them, I always got them from the WW recipe builder.
Most of what I cook are your recipes Gina. Your basic turkey meatloaf is one of my favorites so I’m looking forward to trying this one. I have always substituted oats for the breadcrumbs so I’m happy to see it in this recipe. Thanks again for all your fabulous recipes!
Enjoy!
Would it work with regular oats vs quick oats? If so, would you need to cook longer or adjust the other ingredients??
yes no need to change time
Can it be prepared the day before, refrigerated overnight and then baked the next day?
Sure
Gina, if you had to leave the egg out due to an allergy would you increase the bread crumbs? Thx so much!!!
Not sure? Maybe use an egg replacement like flax eggs?
Just wondering, is there a reason you don’t bake this in a loaf pan? Seems like it would be easier/less messy. Sounds delicious in any case. Thanks
I almost never bake mine in a loaf pan especially if it’s beef because I like the fat to drain out. I keep it moist with add ins. My turkey or chicken I’d do in a loaf pan. Besides, I like making fun shapes! I make JET footballs, MET baseballs, chickens, school bus, shamrocks, hearts, pumpkins, Christmas trees and I decorate with tomatoes, peppers, olives, whatever. 😊
I make the skinny taste mini Turkey loaves all the time! I love this fun shape idea thanks!!
I like to get a crust all over the loaf rather just on top. I never use a loaf pan.
Any suggestions if I wanted to make it vegan but without fake meat?
What can I use instead of quick oats?
Thanks!!
breadcrumbs
This sounds so good!! Adding it to my meal plan for next week 🙂
enjoy!
