Tips
- You can use turkey mince instead of chicken mince, also you can add some diced turkey bacon to your mince.
- You can put vegetables of your choice in your meatloaf. I often make a Mediterranean-style meatloaf.
- Likewise, you can use herbs and spices of your choice. I often use oregano.
- This meatloaf freezes well making it great for batch cooking.
