Ingredients

• 2 lbs Ground turkey
• 2 cups Stuffing mix (unprepared)
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 pieces Celery stalks, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Poultry seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Cranberry sauce (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, stuffing mix, chicken broth, eggs, sautéed vegetables, poultry seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Using clean hands or a spoon, gently mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the mixture to avoid a dense meatloaf.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to ensure an even shape.

Step 7

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm with optional cranberry sauce on the side for a festive touch, or enjoy with your preferred sides like mashed potatoes or green beans.
