Since I’m part of the Jennie-O Switch Circle Blogger program, I get some great Jennie-O products sent to me a few times a year. I love Jennie-O products because they’re healthier then most. This time around I received two packages of the ground turkey breast. I have always thought this was a great alternative to beef. It’s certainly healthier.
I have been wanting to make some meatloaf for a while now. It has been a long time since I have made meatloaf. I knew that this was going to be a great chance to try out some turkey meatloaf with the Jennie-O products.
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs. Jennie-O Ground Turkey Breast
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Cup Milk
- 1 Cup Ritz Crackers
- 1/3 Onion
- 1/2 Cup Ketchup
- 1 tsp. Salt
- 1/2 tsp. Pepper
- 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
- Velveeta Cheese
First you’re going to want to get a larger bowl for all the ingredients. You want to add in everything except for the cheese. The cheese is going to be used for the filling inside the meatloaf.
Then you can start mixing it all up. Make sure you mix it up really good too.
Next you’re going to want to spray your meatloaf pan with cooking spray. Then you can put half the meat in there. Then you want to put your Velveeta cheese in and top it with the rest of the meat. You can decide on how much cheese to use. I ended up using roughly a cup of cheese.
You can bake this at 350 degrees for about 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours.
Then you can slice it up how you want. It will be oozing with cheese as well. You don’t have to put the cheese inside if you don’t want to either. That’s all up to you. You can always adjust how much cheese you want in it as well. I put a whole cup, which is why it oozed out a lot like this.
If you love meatloaf, I hope you’ll try making it with the Jennie-O ground turkey breast. Maybe you have tried it this way before, and if so, what did you think?

I love to use ground turkey in my recipes. It is a great way to make a recipe a little lighter. I will have to give this recipe a try this weekend.

I completely agree. It’s great for a healthier alternative.
This looks so delicious and easy to make. I will have to get the ingredients I need to make this on the weekend. I am sure it will be a big hit.
It was really good. I was surprised that it was so great with the ground turkey. Much healthier too.
We love making meatloaf, but I haven’t tried using turkey meat before. We are watching our calories right now and this would definitely help in that area!
It sure would! Turkey is a great alternative to other meats.
This looks like something my husband and kids would devour! I don’t cook with ground turkey nearly enough!
Me either. I need to start using it more.
Wow, this sounds like a tasty meal. I know my family really loves meatloaf but I have never tried it with turkey. I will have to give it a go!
You’ll have to let me know what you think. It’s got a different taste, but it’s still really good.
That looks SO good! I need to try this tomorrow! I have meat out right now so it would be perfect!
Great! You’ll have to let me know what you think.
Mmmm, talk about a great comfort food recipe! Looks so delicious! Need to make some this weekend!
It sure is!
Yummy! I make turkey meatloaf all the time but never stuff it! So trying this one out next time I make it!
I love stuffing meatloaf. It’s the best!
Normally, I am not a big fan of meatloaf. But with cheese in it, I would definitely give it a try!
It is good with it being stuffed.
I’m a vegetarian but will be sure to share your post with my turkey eating friends!
Thanks for sharing.
Turkey meatloaf is one of our staple go to meals. Unfortunately, a staple meal is something that the family becomes bored with here and there. Add cheese and that may change EVERYTHING. Thank you for the recipe, I’m excited to try it!
You’re welcome! I hope you all enjoy it.
Ahh! I need this in my belly immediately. I love cheese stuffed everything. Om nom nom.
Same here! Cheese stuffed is the best.
Oozing with cheese sounds good to me. I need to make this.
Right! I love cheese.
Yum! I think I’d really enjoy this. I do love my cheese!
Me too! Cheese stuffed anything is great.
I love how your cheese stuffed meatloaf turned out! I haven’t had much time in the kitchen because I have been babysitting my grandson three times this week. I will make this on the weekend and have a real dinner with my family!
Thanks! It turned out really good. I loved it.
You know what? I am not a meat-loaf person, but have to say that this one looks amazing. I love that you added cheese. That is what would be perfect for me. Thanks for sharing
You’re welcome. I love meatloaf myself. Having cheese inside is even better.
We love turkey anything!! I love making turkey spaghetti but this sounds so yummy. I can’t wait to try it!
That sounds good too. I haven’t tried that yet.
This meatloaf looks amazing. I need to make this some time this week.
It certainly was. I hope you enjoy it.
Now this is a tasty idea. I think it’s about time we change u our regular meatloaf recipe too. The guys would love this.
It was really good too. I try to use turkey when I can since it’s healthier.
Wow yummy and tempting. Sounds like a good meal for my family as my son and husband loves turkey. I will try this for sure.

If it has cheese in it I’m game. I haven’t made a turkey meatloaf before. This does look delicious.

Turkey is great for a healthier meal. I love it.
I love using ground turkey in many of our favorite recipes. Things taste just as good and I like knowing I’m making a healthier choice!
Right! It’s great that turkey is healthier too.
Such a healthier alternative. I buy the ground turkey all the time to make recipes, now I have another one to try out. Thank you! Looks delicious.
You’re welcome. I love turkey because it’s a lot healthier.
Any dishes with cheese will do, everybody knows I love it. This meatloaf cheese looks so savory and I love it.

My kids enjoy turkey meatloaf! This will make an appearance in our house soon! Thank you for sharing!
That’s great! I love it when kids can enjoy turkey.
I will surely try this cheese stuffed! I love trying anything with cheese. 🙂
Same here. I love things with cheese.
i love cheese! this looks so tasty and yummyyy!! i would like to try this one!
Right! It was so good too.
I’ve gotten to where I love turkey meatloaf. I have never thought about stuffing cheese in it. This is a great idea.
Me too. It’s really good.
My family loves a good meatloaf and I love to jazz things up. This stuffed meatloaf will please us all, I can’t wait to try it.
Meatloaf is the best. I love it too.
Oh man, this looks really good! I am a fan of cheese stuffed things! Pretty much anything stuffed with cheese is a winner for me!

YES! Oh my the family would LOVE this. LOVE! And I love that it’s turkey, I like using lean ground myself so this is actually perfect!
I hope you all enjoy it! I love turkey myself and I’m glad it’s healthier too.
I wish that I could get my family to eat turkey. It is so much better for you than eating beef. My mom used to do a 50/50 mix using turkey and beef. We never could tell the difference.
There are a lot of recipes to use with it. Most you’ll never know the difference at all.
This looks so good! Anything stuffed with cheese is good by me!
Same here. I love cheese.
I make cheese stuffed burgers and in my opinion, cheese only makes everything better! This looks like a great way to get added flavour into a meal and who’s gonna say no to a gooey cheesy centre?
I agree. Cheese is the best with so many meals.
I love that you used Ritz crackers for the binder. I normally use just plain ol’ bread crumbs but I can imagine how much better it would taste if I used them! Thanks for the awesome idea!
You’re welcome. I didn’t have bread crumbs so I had to substitute.
I haven’t tried making meatloaf yet. This Cheese stuffed turkey meatloaf looks delicious and yet it’s healthier than the usual.I love it.
It’s really good too. I love making meatloaf.
Yum! I love anything with cheese. This looks like a perfect dish for my family!
Right. I do too!
