Tips:
If you aren’t cooking for 8, make this whole recipe anyway. Leftover sliced turkey loaf makes a perfect sandwich for lunch. Or wrap individual slices of cooled turkey loaf in plastic and store in a zip bag for a quick heat-and-eat dinner another day. Make this a complete DASH meal with steamed green beans, oven-roasted potatoes and a glass of fat-free milk.
