Turkey & Vegetable Meatloaf.

My moms FAVORTIE dish is Meatloaf, but we don't eat a lot of beef. So I always have on hand some ground turkey. The meatloaf I make has a spiced ketchup glaze. Both me and my mom love veggies, so me being me I try to add them 

as much as I can. For dinner this night I made a Turkey and Vegetable meatloaf 

with a twice baked potato and asparagus. 

NOTE: I don't typically measure out when I am cooking dinner, so the measurements in this recipe may 

not be exact and may have to be altered.
