Entrees » Chipotle Glazed Turkey Meatloaf
how2heroes founder Lynne Viera whips up a turkey meatloaf that's chock-full of warm flavors thanks to spices like cinnamon and allspice. She uses applesauce and ground dark turkey meat to ensure this meatloaf stays moist during the cooking process. A zesty chipotle pepper glaze lends the final touch and a lot of pizzazz. Give this meatloaf some time to rest before you slice it — the end result is well worth the wait.
