I knew I’d be working through lunch and dinner today, so I figured I’d make a meatloaf in the morning so I’d have a tasty lunch and dinner that I could easily reheat when I got hungry.
Ground turkey served as the base of my meatloaf and I incorporated one of my favorite kinds of barbeque sauce, Bone Suckin’ Sauce, into the meatloaf to amp up the flavor. It was delicious!

Notes
Recipe adapted from Cooking Light’s Turkey Mini Meat Loaves
You could easily use lean ground beef in place of the turkey if you prefer, but it was quite flavorful with the turkey. I’m a fan!
Jamie @ Sometimes Healthy Living Blog says
Looks delicious! I’m a big fan of BBQ sauce (I believe everything tastes better with it), so I would love to make this recipe. Thanks for sharing!

I don’t ever think that meatloaf looks very good, you know?! But it always sounds good and usually tastes wonderfully too…My Andy’s favorite food is meatloaf so I’m always trying out new meatloaf recipes 🙂
peanutbutterfingers says
meatloaf is always hideous!! but i love it!
Audrey says
yummmm that just made me so hungry!
Charlotte @ Commitness to Fitness says
I am a HUGE fan of dinner foods for breakfast. Whenever I’m really hungry in the morning, it only makes sense to eat something filling and full of protein that would usually be considered dinner food, that’s how i look at it. this looks soo good!
Laurel says
We are having meatloaf for dinner too…weird. I’ll use your recipe 🙂 xox
Nicole @ FruitnFitness says
I would say this looks delicious… but it’s meatloaf. It does sound really good though, I like the idea of making it bbq flavor. I hate ketchup so any meatloaf recipe that skips that sounds great to me!
Hayley @ Running on Pumpkin says
That looks amazing! I used to be kind of afraid of meatloaf when I was younger until I lived in Italy and had the most amazing meatloaf ever. Now I always am up for trying different versions at restaurants but still haven’t made it myself!
ty says

Impressive use of morning time! Meatloaf has been one of my favorite newer things. I used to not be a meat eater, but must admit meatloaf is one of those foods that made me like meat again.
This sounds delicious!

It’s been so long since I’ve had meatloaf for dinner! It’s one of those meals that I always hated as a kid, but as an adult sometimes I randomly crave it. I’ve never made my own though, this one looks great!
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl says
Adding BBQ sauce to meatloaf is a fabulous idea! I will have to try this out with my vegetarian “meatloaf!” 🙂

That is a habit I have gotten into a long time ago…. making dinner while I make breakfast! lol!
After a long day it is so nice to just have to warm up dinner and make a quick salad. I can’t wait to try this meatloaf recipe.

GiGi Eats Celebrities says
YUM!!! I would love to go home and see my mom taking this loaf out of the oven and say, “dinner’s ready” – But who am I kidding, my mother doesn’t cook and I haven’t been home since XMAS – LOL, I am delusional!
PluvK says
This is so funny! I just told my hubby yesterday that I missed my mom’s turkey meatloaf. I wish I could recreate it, but our oven broke in April. 🙁 I wonder if turkey meatloaf is possible in the crockpot?
Tara | Treble in the Kitchen says
I do the same thing when I know that I am busy…cook in the morning! It still kind of feels weird cooking a savory “dinner” type dish in the early morning, but whatever works so there is healthy and yummy food ready to go!!!
Kristin @ willrunforquinoa says
The second I saw this I yelled ” would you eat a turkey meatloaf?!” to my husband haha 🙂 it looks fabulous and easy.. plus I already have all of the ingredients so score!
AJ says
I haven’t had any form of meatloaf in years! This one looks yummy though, and healthy!

Meatloaf! One of my favorite foods of all time. Have you ever experimented making meatloaf in the crockpot? I usually come home from work starving and never can wait the 50 min cooking time 🙂
