How Do You Keep Turkey Meatloaf From Falling Apart? 

Most commonly, the reason why it falls apart is that it doesn’t have enough binding agents. To keep everything together, a meatloaf needs a combination of wet and dry ingredients. Some of these ingredients include eggs, panko crumbs and feta cheese. Since this meatloaf is packed with binding agents, it stays together well while cooking and during serving.

How Can I Make Meatloaf Moist?

There are several methods to make meatloaf moist and here are a few of those ways:

  • Add milk to the bread/panko crumbs and make a “panade” or paste that binds the meat together and gives it moisture. This turkey meatloaf gets moisture from the ingredients added in, for example, sautéed mushrooms, egg, and feta cheese.
  • Add some sauce on top. The sauce adds extra moisture that locks in while cooking and also adds to the yummy flavor. But remember to spray the pan! Turkey does not have a lot of fat on its own. It helps to keep the moisture when cooking.

This meatloaf is the perfect meal for family dinner because of how easy it is to serve and make. Since this dish is split into servings when cooking, you easily distribute it to the whole family.

  1. Hi Nikki, thanks for catching that. I edited the recipe to say oven temp at 350 F. The loaves should be baked until 165 F internal temp when measured with a meat thermometer. For most ovens that should be 40-50 minutes, but a thermometer is the way to gauge cook time. Hope this helps!
