Recipe of the Week - BBQ Turkey Meatloaf

This week's recipe of the week comes from my new favorite Food Network show, Down Home with the Neelys. Pat and Gina Neely own a family BBQ restaurant business in Memphis, TN and they just debuted their show this year. They are so much fun to watch and their recipes always sound so good. This is the first one I've tried, though.

Instead of typing out the recipe, I'm just putting in a link to the Food Network site. It's probably easier to print out from there, anyway, if you want to make it.

I did make a couple of substitutions. First, I didn't have enough paprika to mix up their BBQ seasoning. So, I used Lawry's Season Salt - it has basically the same ingredients. Second, I didn't make the BBQ sauce. I just used the sauce we love, Stubbs, made in Austin, TX. I've never been to the restaurant and I don't know if DH has. But, they make some darn good sauce. I definitely want to go to the restaurant when we go to Austin! (Not that I know when that will be!) I also cut the recipe in half (I just eyeballed the egg). It made plenty for DH and I to have generous servings for dinner and enough for lunch today. I served it with red-skin mashed potatoes (with the skin on).

The recipe was easy to put together and it was very tasty! DH wants it in the regular rotation so that's a good sign!

I did remember the pictures this time! It doesn't look very pretty on the plate, though.
