Turkey Meatloaf
Sweet Italian turkey sausage and freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese lend an almost meatball-like flavor to this moist and marinara-topped turkey meatloaf.
Gluten-Free Beef, Turkey and Mushroom Meatloaf
In this gluten-free meatloaf recipe, chef Rocco DiSpirito cuts back on some of the meat and swaps in earthy cremini mushrooms, combining them with lean ground beef and turkey to create a meatloaf that's moist and tasty. Serve the finished dish with mashed potatoes and roasted tomatoes.
Veal and Mushroom Meatloaf with Bacon
The original version of this recipe, from Dine with Your Friends, published in 1936 by the Women's Faculty Club of Northwestern University Medical School, called for a mixture of boiled ham and ground veal. We substituted bacon for the ham to add a nice hint of smokiness.
Meatloaf with Red Wine Glaze
New York chef Shea Gallante brushes his meatloaf with a sophisticated red wine glaze, which caramelizes as it bakes. The glaze also makes the meatloaf especially nice when paired with red wine.
Classic Meatloaf with Creamy Onion Gravy
This meatloaf boasts a mixture of ground beef and pork, along with grated cheese, which melts as it bakes. The creamy onion gravy served alongside is optional, but takes this meatloaf over the top. The recipe makes enough meatloaf for a crowd, so you may have leftovers. Cut the leftover meatloaf into thick slices and brown in a skillet to serve, alongside the onion gravy.
Mom's Meatloaf
This is a classic meatloaf recipe taken to the next level. The blend of beef, pork, and veal gives it lots of richness and flavor from the fatty meat, while the chopped bacon added to the mix lends it a smoky touch.
