Ground Turkey Meatloaf

Using ground turkey in place of the ground beef cuts out some of the fat in this lightened up version of a classic main dish.

1 lb. ground turkey
3 cups crispy rice cereal
1 egg
1/4 cup ketchup
1 TBSP. Worcestershire sauce
dash of liquid smoke

1/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup ketchup
1 TBSP. Worcestershire sauce

Combine the first six ingredients in a large bowl. Mix together with your hands until everything is incorporated. Place mixture into an ungreased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Mix the topping ingredients together and spread over top of the meat mixture in the pan. Bake @ 350*F for 45 minutes.

**To make ahead, prepare as directed, but do not bake. Cover with plastic wrap and foil, then freeze. When ready to bake, just thaw it in the fridge, still covered, for 24-48 hours. Remove the plastic wrap and foil, and bake as directed.
