Have you made this with ground turkey??
ReplyDeleteI have not but I bet they would still be good. I thought about mixing but the ground chicken I had was leaner then the ground turkey so I opted to just keep it chicken. I have another meatloaf recipe that is ground turkey and lean 98% beef mix. It's pretty spicy but yummy also. We enjoy both and making them in the muffin tin allows me to control my portions.
