Thanksgiving Ideas
Now that the holidays are coming up, it time to start thinking up Thanksgiving ideas. Most people are searching for a Thanksgiving turkey recipe. What if you don’t want to make a whole turkey for the Thanksgiving meal?
Thanksgiving Meal
Let’s look at the Thanksgiving meal overall. Say you are craving Thanksgiving dinner in July. Do you make that Thanksgiving turkey recipe in hot and humid July? No, but maybe a turkey meatloaf would be better!
Turkey Meatloaf
If we could have the Thanksgiving meal of stuffing, turkey, and cranberries any time of the year what would be the best way to do these Thanksgiving ideas? Why not make a turkey meatloaf that can be Thanksgiving all year-long?
I have made a stuffed meatloaf using stuffing before. Substitute ground turkey for ground beef, add stuffing mix for bread crumbs, you really could have a Thanksgiving dinner any time of the year!
Cranberry Glaze
A good meatloaf needs a good glaze. I made a cranberry glaze last year for Omaha Steaks Filet Mignon With Cranberry Balsamic Reduction and Blue Cheese Butter That would be perfect on a turkey meatloaf. Plus, this could be the cranberries of the Thanksgiving turkey recipe!
Thanksgiving Turkey Recipe
No, this turkey meatloaf is not a traditional Thanksgiving turkey recipe. This Thanksgiving dinner is actually easier to make the real Thanksgiving dinner.
If you are like me, you have to work on Thanksgiving, and you by yourself thanksgiving ideas like this meatloaf recipe is perfect! Plus, when you want a Thanksgiving turkey recipe in July, now you can make one!
