Stuffing:
- 4 cups dry stuffing mix, divided (we used Pepperidge Farms Herb Seasoned Classic Stuffing Mix)
- 1 quart turkey stock, divided (boxed is OK, our homemade recipe is better)
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 1/2 cups onion, diced
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Bell’s Seasoning
- 4 whole eggs, beaten
Meatloaf:
- 2 pounds ground turkey
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Gravy:
-
- Half of stock from above
- 3 1/2 tablespoons butter
- 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon browning and seasoning sauce, such as Kitchen Bouquet
Additional:
- Cranberry sauce, for serving on the side
Instructions
- Prepare Stuffing: In a large skillet, melt butter and sauté onion, celery, and garlic until softened. Add Bell’s Seasoning and 2 cups of stuffing mix. Stir in 1/2 of the turkey stock and mix well. Let cool.
- Make Meatloaf: In a mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, remaining stuffing mix, eggs, salt, and pepper. Add in the cooled stuffing mixture and mix until well combined.
- Bake: Shape the mixture into a loaf and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 1 hour, or until cooked through.
- Prepare Gravy: In a saucepan, melt butter and whisk in flour to make a roux. Slowly add in remaining turkey stock and browning sauce, stirring until thickened.
- Serve: Slice meatloaf and serve with gravy and cranberry sauce on the side.
Notes
- If your stuffing mix is very dry, you may need to add more stock to moisten it.
- Feel free to add in additional herbs or spices to customize the flavor of the meatloaf.
