Recipe FAQs

Can I use ground turkey instead of ground beef?

Yes but ground turkey does have a different flavor. If you love ground turkey or that’s what you have, then go for it! You might want to check out my recipe for Ground Turkey Meatloaf Muffins.

How long does this meatloaf stay good for?

It will stay good for up to 4 days in a covered container in the refrigerator.

Can this recipe be frozen?

Yes it can! I recommend assembling it up to the part when you bake it. Instead of baking it, freeze the assembled meatloaf. Then, defrost it and bake it when you’re ready to enjoy it.

Is Worcestershire sauce gluten-free?

Most brands of Worcestershire sauce are not gluten-free because they contain soy sauce. Be sure to find a certified gluten-free Worcestershire sauce.
