You would never guess this turkey meatloaf is packed with mushrooms, but that’s exactly what makes it so good. The finely chopped mushrooms add moisture and a rich, savory flavor that is often missing from a typical turkey meatloaf. White button mushrooms work perfectly here. For even more flavor, try brown cremini, portobello, or shiitake mushrooms, or a combination of them. The key is to chop the mushrooms very finely—you can easily do this by hand or with a quick pulse in a food processor.
