Notes
Want to make it with ground turkey? It's an easy swap! Since turkey is naturally leaner and milder in flavor, you'll want to be a little more generous with the seasonings to give it the same rich, savory taste. Don't worry about measuring every extra pinch perfectly; ground turkey is very forgiving, so feel free to season it to your taste. A little extra minced garlic, onion powder, liquid smoke, and BBQ sauce can make all the difference. The result is still a moist, delicious meatloaf with plenty of flavor.
