I am on a constant mission to find foods that Finn will enthusiastically eat that are not crackers, cheese, bagels and puffs. And for the record…I never thought I’d be that mom trying to sneak veggies into recipes but here I am, making a veggie packed turkey meatloaf.
Finn aside, I am in LOVE with this veggie packed turkey meatloaf recipe that I created. I ate three slices of it the night that I made it and I can’t wait to enjoy the leftovers. Meatloaf has a special place in my heart because it was one of my favorite things that my grandmother cooked for us. Her meatloaf was a very traditional/old school beef version with canned mushrooms and ketchup on top. While I loved that version and would happily eat it today, I’ve had so much fun experimenting with other meatloaf recipes.
This one is a delicious mix of turkey with sauteed carrots, zucchini and onions. It’s the craziest thing how you don’t even taste the zucchini or carrots once they are baked into the meatloaf. I’m in the camp of the more veggies the merrier in all meals (thus the reason I am always adding cauli rice and spinach to my smoothies) but it’s extra great if you are trying to get a toddler to eat veggies.
While this recipe is a bit time consuming from a baking perspective, the prep is simple and easy.
My favorite part of meatloaf is probably the glaze on top and I made a delicious one for this recipe. It’s a mix of ketchup, brown sugar and balsamic.
I really can’t say enough how pleased I am with how this recipe turned out. This veggie packed turkey meatloaf is both flavorful and super moist and juicy.

It’s a three-day stage race in Moab, Utah that’s put on by the same race organization, TransRockies Rockies Race Series, that I did my six-day Colorado race with back in August. TransRockies truly excels when it comes to planning and [...]
