When we want to make a meatloaf, but don’t want to wait for it to cook, we turn to these delicious meat patties. Ready in about 30 minutes, these patties give all the great flavor of home-cooked meatloaf without a long bake time. The ground turkey in this recipe provides a nice background for onions, garlic and Italian seasonings, but ground beef is an acceptable option if that is what you have on hand. We like to get the kids involved with the mixing and shaping of these patties. They like squishing the ingredients together and pressing the patties into shape, and everything tastes better when you help to make it! We serve these patties with mashed potatoes and a green vegetable for a quick dinner that tastes like it took hours to make.
