Herb-Roasted Turkey Meatloaf with Mushroom Gravy

Meatloaf gets a bit of a bad reputation, but a good one — built with lean ground turkey and oats instead of a fattier beef-and-breadcrumb mix — is worth bringing back into rotation. It bakes until firm and slices cleanly, then gets draped in a simple mushroom gravy made right in the same pan.

Swapping in turkey and going light on added salt gives this a genuinely heart-healthy profile compared to a traditional beef meatloaf, without losing the savory, familiar flavor that makes it comfort food in the first place.

Let the loaf rest for a few minutes after baking before slicing — it keeps the pieces from falling apart.
