May Turkey Meatloaf

I am excited to see you all on Tuesday! Are you all still good with Dino Mine at 8pm?

Here is my Turkey Meatloaf recipe. TAKE IT OUT THE DAY BEFORE YOU WANT TO EAT IT SO THAT IT IS ALL THE WAY THAWED.

2 tablespoons butter
 1/4 cup chopped onion
 1/2 cup chopped celery
 1 apple - peeled, cored and chopped
 3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
 1/2 cup shredded cheese
 2 eggs
 1/4 cup milk
 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch loaf pan.

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the onion, celery, and apple until the onion is translucent and the apple is softened, 5 to 8 minutes. Let the mixture cool.

In a bowl, mix the cooked apple mixture with the bread crumbs, cheese, eggs, milk, and poultry seasoning until well combined, and lightly stir in the ground turkey. Do not over mix or the meatloaf will be tough.

Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan, and bake in the preheated oven until the loaf is cooked through to the center, about 45 minutes.
