"TURKEY MEATLOAF"

Whew! Busy day.
I had to prepare something really quick and easy, which could be eaten with either bread or rice ( depending on my husband's choice today, as I wouldn't be home for lunch).
I decided to make meatloaf with my Jenny-O "Extra Lean" Ground Turkey Meat here.
My meatloaf is a "meal-in-one"since it already has meat, veggies and oats! Believe me, it tastes good and is as moist as the usual meatloaf recipes using ground beef or pork.

For the toppings, the twist is that I add balsamic vinegar to give it that sweet and tangy finish.

Quick, easy, and delicious TURKEY MEATLOAF!
