looking for a healthy option this Thanksgiving?
living in Canada but wanting to celebrate American thanksgiving and realized you didn’t buy a turkey?
wanting to disappoint your family and see if they can still find something to be thankful for?
then turkey oatmeal meatloaf is the dinner option for you!
truth be known… it’s tasty… really tasty… and if you bought four packages of ground turkey from Costco and then realized you had no plans on what to do with it, it is a good solution for using that up!
just do what I do and make sure your family eats it before you watch the Packer’s game tonight and they see something called a ‘turducken’ … which is a turkey stuffed with a deboned duck stuffed with a deboned chicken…
because then they for sure will not be thankful for turkey oatmeal meatloaf…
