Turkey Meatloaf Help

Line your baking dish with a few slices of bread. They'll soak up any grease/moisture while the meatloaf is cooking, and you just throw them away when you take your meatloaf out.0

So you are trying to drain the fat right? If so, I picked up this product from Walgreens but you can pretty much get it anywhere.

It drains all the fat, juices, drippings, etc from my meatloafs without making it super dry.0 -
It's not fat, well there's a tiny amount of fat, it's just the cooking juices - if you leave the meatloaf in the tin to rest (10 minutes covered with kitchen foil or a tea towel) the loaf will soak up the juices and you will be left with a delivious, moist meat loaf - perfect accompanied with salad or assorted cooked veggies and leftovers for delicious sandwiches!0

Thanks all! I think I will look into a small rack for the bottom of the pan. Here is the recipe that I was using..
Turkey - Ground Turkey Lean 93/7 , 16 oz.
Eggs - Whole, raw, 1 large
Lipton - Recipe Secrets - Onion Soup, Mix, Dry, 0.5 container
Sargento 80 Cal - Low Fat Shredded Cheddar Cheese, 1/8 cup
Ketchup, 4 tbsp
Basically mix it all together and toss it in a loaf pan. Cover with marinara sauce the last few minutes of baking and serve.

Let me start by saying, I am not a cook. I don't even play one on T.V. , but I am trying. I tried following a Biggest Loser recipe for low carb meatloaf made with Jennie-O ground turkey (93/7), but after it cooked the pan was swimming with watery fat. So here's the question...can the turkey be browned, even a bit, in a pan to drain off some fat before adding other ingredients and turning it into a loaf? Or, can I keep pulling it out of the oven to drain it off while it's baking?
Told ya, I know ZERO about cooking
Are you sure it isn't some water coming from the marinara at the bottom, you are already using very lean lean I don't see how it would leave fat in the bottom0 -
Mine usually has liquid in it.. but I drain it when it's done cooking... and I've never found it dry or bland.. even the next day..0

You can get a meatloaf pan that will drain all that out. Or in a pinch I have lined the bottom of the pan with a thick bread. That soaks up the fat then I just remove that part and eat the meatloaf. I usually do that when I'm making it in the crockpot as the pan won't fit in that. If it is a dense bread it works better to soak up the fat without falling apart.0

You are using a lean ground turkey. Let it rest for ten minutes before you cut it, and it will re-absorb the juices. Then cut and serve it. Also. I would not use the soup mix, as it is LOADED with salt. I would season it with a teaspoon of seasoned salt. If you use a fatty ground turkey, then you could pour the cooked out fat off before you serve it, but don't pour it down the drain, or it will clog it up as soon as cold water goes down the drain (that will turn the fat hard)0

You can get a rack to put over your pan or what ever dish your cooking it in so the meatloaf doesn't sit in the drippings. That's what I do.0
