• Make the loaf spicy. Add a kick of heat to the meatloaf by popping in a couple of shakes of roasted red pepper flakes.

Storing & Freezing Turkey Meatloaf

• Storing: To keep the meatloaf on hand for 3-4 days, store it in an airtight container in the fridge. Keeping it airtight is crucial so the meat doesn’t dry out and lose all its moisture.
• Freezing: To freeze the cooked meatloaf, first let it cool down completely at room temperature out of the pan. Next, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and pop it into a freezer-safe plastic storage bag for up to 1 month. To thaw, pop it in the fridge for a couple of hours. To reheat, bake it in the oven covered with foil at 350°F until warmed through.
