Italian Turkey Meatloaf with Basil

Of all the things I cooked for my clients, this is my most request dish! This classic comfort food meatloaf  includes some great Italian flavor!

There is dozen of meatloaf recipes out there but this Italian Turkey Meatloaf is one of a kind.

This italian meatloaf is moist and tender and even better the day after. The leftover makes great sandwiches!

I don’t know about you, but I like to bake my meatloaf in small individual pans. Easy to freeze.

 With mashed potatoes and a green vegetable, you have the perfect family dinner.
