I decided to give my normal meatloaf some Mexican flare, so here is my Mexican Turkey Meatloaf recipe I made tonight.  My husband and I tend to like things more spicy, but you can certainly tone down the spice if you want and it will be just as delicious.

They key to a moist meatloaf is to make sure you have enough liquid in it.  I use marinara sauce or ketchup in any type of meatloaf I make.  The marinara sauce did not impact the flavor of the Mexican Turkey Meatloaf in a negative way either.  I experimented, and it all actually worked together.

Recipe Notes

Gluten Free Options:  You can find gluten free bread crumbs at the store, or you can make them yourself.  I have also ground gluten free crackers before and used instead since I always have them on hand.
