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.
