    I take this recipe from Cooks Illustrated: http://www.shaboomskitchen.com/archiv... then I add one large, diced Spanish onion that has been cooked to a caramel colour and sweetness. Adjust the liquid if necessary to get the texture right.

      This is a turkey meatloaf from a local pub that has since closed. Excellent meatloaf, with a different kind of flavor due to the ginger. Great served with mashed potatoes. ( I usually add a bit more ginger as I love the flavor of it.)

      Brown sugar Glazed Turkey Meat Loaf

      4 servings

      ¾ cup brown sugar
      ¾ cup ketchup
      2 lb ground turkey
      3 eggs
      ¾ cup chopped onion
      1 ¼ cup breadcrumbs
      ½ tablespoon ground ginger
      ¾ cup milk
      Parchment paper to line loaf pan
      Salt and pepper to taste

      · Preheat oven to 350
      · Line loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking
      · Spread brown sugar into bottom of pan
      · Spread ketchup over sugar
      · Mix remaining ingredients in bowl, kneading with hands
      · Form meat mixture into loaf and place in pan
      · Bake in oven for one hour
      · Remove from pan, turning it upside down, so brown sugar and ketchup form glaze on top
      · Allow loaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing

        I really, really love the Barefoot Contessa's turkey meatloaf recipe: http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recip...

        My mom also makes a great beef meatloaf, but I don't know the recipe -- it's all eyeballing. The body of the meatloaf is ground beef, an egg, rolled oats, and jarred old-fashioned chile sauce with salt and pepper. It has the requisite ketchup on top.

          Lots of fans of Paul Prudhomme's recipe.

            i'm one of those fans.
            lots of ingredients (mere prep work) but super easy to bake.
            leftovers are as moist and tender as day one. highly recommended.

              almost forgot, the gravy recipe works really well, too.
