Wild Turkey Meatloaf

Season is over - time to enjoy the harvest.

This came out great!

I used the ketchup-based glaze. It was good - adds kind of a tangy flavor. Next time, I might try using BBQ sauce and see how that tastes.

I cooked it in a parchment paper lined pan - the paper makes it easy to remove from the pan with little cleanup. Here it is on the paper but out of the pan ready to be sliced and served:

 

Looks as good as it tastes!
