Back to reposting recipes after taking a bit of a hiatus. I’ll blame the typical excuses — life, work, time, all that! But all that aside, I had to post probably the most popular recipe from the original website: the Mediterranean turkey meatloaf! Y’all, this is a staple in our household! We have it at least monthly because it’s so easy to make and tastes amazing! I even made a version of this for my mom when she was visiting a few years ago, and she gave her stamp of approval, which is saying something if you know the cook my mom is. This recipe is inspired by a very similar Food Network dish, but I added some fresh herbs, some dijon, less salt, and it made it that much better! 

When I say this was probably the most popular recipe from the website, I’m not lying. This is the recipe I get texts about from friends who say this has been a lifesaver in

food prep for the week and that they have gotten approvals from their skeptical significant others who aren’t big meatloaf fans to begin with. And granted, I only like normal meatloaf on occasion, but this one is so light and flavorful, and I never feel groggy after eating it. Another plus: you can even prep it a day before. Just mix it all up, place in the pan, cover with seran wrap and press it down so it’s touching the meat, and place in the fridge. EASY.

If you give it a try, let me know your thoughts! Hope you love it 🙂
