Tranquil Turkey Meatloaf with Sweet Potato Mash

This turkey meatloaf is a lean and healthy alternative to traditional beef meatloaf. It's made with ground turkey, chopped onion, celery, and carrots, and flavored with oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. The meatloaf is baked in a loaf pan and served with a sweet potato mash made with boiled sweet potatoes, almond milk, and cinnamon.

Meatloaf is a classic American comfort food dish. It's typically made with ground beef, but can also be made with ground turkey, pork, or lamb. The meat is mixed with breadcrumbs, eggs, and seasonings, and then formed into a loaf and baked in the oven. Meatloaf is often served with gravy, mashed potatoes, or green beans.
