Jobil's Turkey Meatloaf

Jump to Recipe
When I was younger, I used to LOVE Wednesdays! The reason being, it meant that it was MEATLOAF NIGHT and I LOVED my Mother's Meatloaf. My mother was named Jobil, after her mother, Josephine (Jo), and father, William (Bill)...thus, Jobil :). This recipe was one that she knew by heart and passed it on to me when I got married. I have tweaked it just a little by using Ground Turkey instead of Ground Beef, as my mother did back in the day when we didn't have Ground Turkey readily available. I think my mother would approve! It's simply delicious and the leftovers the next day are even better. I hope you enjoy Jobil's Turkey Meatloaf :).

This meatloaf gets better and better as it sits. I always make two loaves, so we can have the 2nd loaf for leftovers.
