Does anyone have a good recipe for "Turkey loaf"? I haven't had decent turkey loaf since the 80's!
I had never even heard of this before, so I had to go searching for recipes. There are some out there. This is a good idea, turkey, stuffing and cranberries made into a loaf.

Turkey And Stuffing Meatloaf
Presented by McCormick October 05, 2020
Ingredients for 6 servings
MEATLOAF
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
1 ½ cups unseasoned stuffing mix
¾ cup chicken stock
1 cup yellow onion, finely diced
½ cup celery, finely diced
½ cup carrot, finely diced
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 ¼ teaspoons Sage, divided
1 ½ lb ground turkey
1 large egg, beaten
CRANBERRY GLAZE
½ cup jellied whole-berry cranberry sauce
¼ cup ketchup
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
½ teaspoon kosher salt
Preparation
1 Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9 x 5-inch (22 x 12 cm) loaf pan with butter and line the pan with a piece of parchment paper, leaving overhang on the 2 long sides.
2 Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and ½ teaspoon ground sage. Cook for 4–5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool for 15 minutes.
3 While the vegetables cool, stir together the stuffing mix and chicken stock in a medium bowl.. Let sit for 15 minutes, until the stuffing mix is soggy and has absorbed all of the liquid
4 Once the vegetables have cooled, add the soaked stuffing mix, ground turkey, remaining teaspoon salt, remaining ¼ teaspoon pepper, remaining ¾ teaspoon ground sage, and the egg. Mix until well combined. Transfer to the prepared loaf pan, pressing down to smooth the top.
5 Bake the turkey and stuffing loaf for 25 minutes.
6 While the meatloaf loaf bakes, make the glaze:
In a medium bowl, mix together the cranberry sauce, ketchup, and mustard.
7 Pour the glaze over the meatloaf, then return to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes or until the internal temperature 165°F (75°C).
8 Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then use the parchment to carefully lift out the meatloaf and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 1-inch-thick slices and serve immediately.
