The Meatloaf has gotten a facelift. I switched out ground beef for ground turkey and added turkey bacon to make this leaner version that’s just as good. Topped it off with bbq sauce and you’ve got a great meal everyone will like. I give you BBQ Turkey Meatloaf!
A few years ago, I bought a package of turkey bacon on a whim. I had never tried it. Once I cooked it up, I have never looked back! I couldn’t believe the flavor! I adore it on BLTs or in breakfast burritos. It’s absolutely delicious in this BBQ Turkey Meatloaf.
Have you guys tried turkey bacon? I used Butterball Turkey Bacon in this recipe and it’s actually my stand-by brand of turkey bacon that I always pick up. Truth.

Do you chop up the turkey bacon at some point? How small?
Yes you do before adding it into the meatloaf mixture. Sorry about that. Just cook it up and cut into bite sized pieces.
