One of the best things about Thanksgiving is the aroma of turkey roasting in the oven. This turkey meatloaf has the same wonderful aroma as the turkey and it is a lot easier and quicker to make. I especially enjoy the added sweetness of apple. My family loved it, and I really hope you do too.

How To Make scrumptious thanksgiving meatloaf

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees Melt the butter in a frying pan. Saute the minced onion, and chopped apple ( I used a Cortland Apple. which is a red apple, and on the tart side)and chopped celery in the butter until the onion is transparent. I put the onion, celery and apple in my mini food processor. Just so they are uniform chopped pieces.

    In a large bowl, mix the apple mixture with the eggs, breadcrumbs, milk and turkey. Add the poultry seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste depending on your individual preference. I then added a pinch of red pepper.

    Blend the ingredients well, and then add to a loaf pan. Cover the top of the loaf with the grated colby cheese. Cheddar would work just as well.
