Hi Aaron, You can use ground turkey for the recipe.

I haven't used ground chicken, but I think it would work. Meatloaf does freeze well. Hope you love it! So quick question am I baking it for 30 minutes at without the topping and then add the topping and cook for another 45 minutes? Or is it giving options with and without the topping? So without the toppings 30 minutes with the topping 45 minutes?

Which is it it doesn't say. Cook the meatloaf at degrees for 15 minutes. Then, lower the temperature to degrees and cook for 30 more minutes. This is all without the topping. Then, take the pan out of the oven, add the topping, return it to the oven and cook for another minutes at degrees.

You can even slice it and freeze those separately or with wax paper in btwn. Be careful not to freeze anything raw that may have been frozen previously—a big no-no. Hi Kat, thanks for sending me this question!

Yep, as long as the parm is grated so that it completely mixes through the meat, you should be good to go. I hope you love it and if so, if you could drop back here to leave a rating, I would sooo appreciate it! Happy Cooking! Found this recipe tonight and have the meatloaf baking in the oven this very moment. It is larger grained than the kind that comes from the shake cannisters. You find it in the refrigerated section, in a resealable bag, and so it is nice and fresh. This recipe was fast and easy.

Hi Lisa, Thank you so much for sharing this version! I will have to look for one of those grill pans, as I eat a lot of chicken. During the warm months I do use a gas grill outside, but have been using a Forman grill in winter.

I have found that it will make nice grill marks, but to cook all the way through, wind up with burned grill marks. I never considered just a quick grilling to get the marks and finishing up in the oven. Thank you for the post. Does that happen to you well? I also used ground turkey instead of beef.

Hi Jennifer, Thanks for the question. Yes, this is normal as the juices including any meat fat will not have anywhere to go in the loaf pan but up on top. These juices will soak back into the meat. If you are using ground turkey, the meat should be very lean, so this is moisture that you will want to retain to keep the meat from drying out.

Let your meatloaf rest after cooking to allow the juices to soak back in and redistribute. I hope this helps! Thanks, Carrie. I was looking for a meatloaf recipe that did not use breadcrumbs or packets of soup that are usually filled with gross and harmful ingredients. Hi Jennifer!

Take Care and Best Wishes, Carrie. Hi Harrison, Thank you so much!! Left off the rating. I love this meatloaf. Thank you for the recipe!!

Can I use onion powder instead of really onion? Hi Auggie, Thanks for asking! Yes, you can use onion powder instead. I would add 2 tsp of Onion Powder. Please let me know how it turns out! Best, Carrie. I am in love with this recipe! I had all of the ingredients on hand, which is great and means the ingredients are simple, and it was super easy to make.

The best part: it was truly delicious and super packed with flavor! Thank you! Thanks you so much, Cassandra!! Hi Carrie! Can I substitute turkey for ground beef? Hi Cassandra, Yes, you can definitely substitute ground turkey!

All other ingredients would be the same. Thanks so much for checking in and let me know how it goes! Happy Cooking, Carrie. Very very good. It is nice to have an easy recipe that is delicious. My son could not believe it! Thanks, Andrea! So happy you and your family enjoyed it! I have made this meatloaf and was floored at the wonderful taste. I am making it again today and I honestly think it is the best meatloaf recipe I ever had. This is a real keeper!

Thanks so much for this really kind comment!! Hi Chelsea, Great question! Yes, you can use cheddar. What I love about the grated parmesan is that is mixes so nicely and evenly, so if you are able to grate the cheddar yourself or put it in a food processor, just use the finest setting. Please let me know how it goes! I made this tonight; it was full of flavor and we thoroughly enjoyed it. This is definitely a keeper! It was great!!

I served it with mixed greens and white rice I will be using this recipe again. Hi, I was wondering if I could add ground pork to the recipe?

If so, do I need to change any of the ingredients? This looks delicious, and I plan on making it tonight. I noticed the recipe video says bake at degrees for 30 minutes, and the written recipe shows degrees for 1 hour. Can you please tell me which one works best? Hi Lindsey, Thank you so much for question! For the best results, I would follow the recipe that calls for for 1 hour. You could also do F for 50 minutes. Please let me know how you like it! After all, this is meatloaf! The trick to making gluten free meatloaf without breadcrumbs is all in how we physically make our meatloaf.

I add water and fresh chopped parsley, and really mix it up. You want the ground beef to squish through your fingers without issue, and have a very soft texture. The meatloaf without breadcrumbs will still absorb water, it just needs a little hands on TLC from us. This breadcrumb free meatloaf will still be super tender, but stay together without issue.

It is all in the loaf making! Many popular meatloaf recipes include ketchup. Personally, I have never been a fan 0f this, but I get that many people want that sweet tomato flavor with their meatloaf. BBQ sauce is a great substitute for ketchup in meatloaf. This is just because everyone in my family prefers their meatloaf differently. I serve my homemade, gluten free BBQ sauce on top of my meatloaf slices. Whether you put homemade BBQ sauce on top, or eat it plain, this main course goes with all of your favorite side dishes.

The best part of this recipe is it lends itself to adding more things. For example, you can chop up veggies like carrots and red peppers finely in your Vitamix, and simply add it to the mixture.
