As the weather gets colder and colder here in Wisconsin, I find myself craving foods that are colorful and comforting, but also healthy. This turkey meatloaf and roasted vegetables is just that – the colors from the beautiful roasted veggies just make one think of sunnier days, and the turkey meatloaf is so good and a very nostalgic food. The vegetables in this recipe are from my weekly Instacart grocery delivery because their services are incredible (delivered groceries save me SO much time and the products are so good!)

Beautiful roasted veggies for a dinner recipe

[Tag me on Instagram, @philiakelnhofer “Dinner for tonight and perfect for #healthy meal planning – the best turkey meat loaf and roasted vegetables from @philiakelnhofer“]

Growing up I don’t think we ever ate ground turkey – was that even a thing in the 90’s? Now I love using it as a healthy dinner ingredient. I’m totally in love with making meatloaf recipes (as you can tell from my previous posts on mini cheese stuffed meatloaf cups or this mushroom and Jarlsberg meatloaf) but have never shared my tried and true plain ‘ole meatloaf recipe that I make. It’s totally not boring, I promise!

The best turkey meatloaf recipe

In fact, you guys already know how I feel about the term ‘the best’…I shared when I posted the best salted caramel chocolate chip cookies… I only use the term when it is something I’ve made countless times and it is truly delicious, deserving of the title THE BEST. And this turkey meatloaf and roasted vegetables, man-oh-man, it is SO good and truly the best turkey meatloaf recipe!

A funny side note here – in the midst of finishing up my cookbook, I was emailing with my editor and she mentioned that she noticed I say recipes are my “go-to” a lot, that made me laugh, I told her it’s TRUE, certain recipes are my go-to ones. This meatloaf and roasted veggies would definitely fall in that category. Does turkey meatloaf and roasted vegetables freeze well?

  • Once you make the turkey meatloaf and roasted vegetables, you can freeze them for up to 2 months.

Also you guys also know I’m all about meal planning and eating healthier, right? So I’m sharing a photo of this weeks’ meal planning-in the photo you see 1 recipe of this meatloaf and roasted vegetables divided and then 1 recipe of this slow cooker salsa chicken and quinoa. Both recipes use ingredients purchased from Instacart!

    We never tried a turkey meatloaf before, it sounds really interesting! We bet with this recipe it won’t be boring and blunt, so we’ll be definitely giving this a go! Like you, we never had ground turkey in the 80s and 90s as we were growing up, but turkey is a very nutritious and healthy meat. Excellent idea Phi, pinned ASAP!

      Thank you so much for the pin, much appreciated! And this meatloaf would also be good with ground beef, but this is my husbands’ favorite healthy meatloaf, it’s sooooo good, definitely worth giving it a go 🙂

    This looks delicious! Do you think it would still work if I made it in a cupcake tin? I love making individual meatloaf’s, for meal prepping my lunches, and also my husband is like 5 so he likes cupcake style. Also can’t wait to make those veggies! I love pretty much any roasted vegetable.

    This looks so yummy! I love a good, healthy meal of lean meats and veggies! I bet the addition of sour cream keeps it so moist and succulent; Thanks for sharing! 😀

    My grandmother made Shoyu Chicken – that is my favorite dish.

      Dishes made by grandmothers are always the best – I’ve never heard of Shoyu Chicken so I’ll have to look that up!

    Looks marvelous Phi! And i’m sure well-deserved in both “the best” and “go-to” categories 😉

    My favorite nostalgic dish is my mom’s chicken turnovers made with chicken, cream cheese, and onions, which is then stuffed into pillsbury croissants. So it’s definitely not a The Gourmet Gourmand style recipe, but I love it and make it from time to time when I’m needing some good comfort-food in my life.

    Good luck with your cookbook! Super excited about it and can’t wait to hear more 🙂

    I’m going to have to make sure I have all the ingredients for this as soon as this ice outside melts. Looks amazing!
    My favorite nostalgic dish is my great grandmother’s Italian Wedding Soup. So easy to put together and tastes better after resting in the frig a day or two!

    My favorite nostalgic dish is beef and noodles, when I was a young boy my grandmother would make it a couple times a month for us and even more often in the winter. She even went as far as making the noodles from scratch, truly miss it!

      Oh yum, beef and noodles sounds amazing – especially since your grandmother made the noodles herself – that’s quite the accomplishment! Thank you for commenting and entering.
