Nutrition Tip 
Ground turkey and beef of the same fat percentage are very similar in their calorie and protein contents. However, ground turkey is lower in saturated fat.
Meatloaf was commonly eaten in the Great Depression since it can be bulked up with other inexpensive ingredients like oats, breadcrumbs, and other starches. This allowed families to get more meals out of a piece of meat.
