  1. Hi; What if I used ground turkey instead of ground beef.
    I use a lot of your recipes. Thanks. alice

  2. Thanks, Alice. I’m happy to hear you’re making many of my recipes!
    You can easily substitute ground turkey for this recipe.
    Enjoy!
    All the best,
    Nancy

  3. I use your meatloaf recipe that is baked in a muffin pan. Will this work ok on this recipe? I imagine the baking time might be shorter. Thanks.

  4. I’d like to make this soon, but am unsure about the pickle relish. Did you use sweet or dill pickle relish?
    Sounds good! I’ll let you know how it goes.

    Love your recipes and the fact that they include WW pts. Thank you!

  5. I’m so glad you’re enjoying my recipes. Thanks, Ellen. I used sweet pickle relish but dill pickle relish will work fine, too.
    I hope you enjoy it!
    My best,
    Nancy

  6. Ann, I love your idea! You could easily make this recipe in a muffin pan. The bake time will probably be the same as my other recipe.
    Enjoy!
    My best,
    Nancy

  7. So happy to see carb and sugar info with this. Looking forward to trying this. If using breadcrumbs not bread what is the measurement?

  8. Thanks, Barb. I always include them along with most of the other important numbers.
    You can easily use ½ cup store-bought breadcrumbs.
    I hope you enjoy this meatloaf!
    My best,
    Nancy

  9. Nancy, I did make this using the sweet pickle relish and it’s great! It was a nice change from my usual meatloaf (my mother’s recipe from the 50s.) I’ve always thought meatloaf is a fall/winter dish, but because this tastes like a burger it tastes appropriate for summer. Thanks again for including the WW points – so helpful.

  10. I’m loving your feedback, Ellen. Thanks so much for sharing all of this! During the summer, I love serving this simple meatloaf. My husband loves it!
    Wishing you all the best,
    Nancy
