Keywords: Customize your meatloaf by swapping ground beef with turkey or adding vegetables like bell peppers or carrots. For variety in flavor, try adding barbecue sauce mixed with ketchup as a glaze. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days; reheat with a splash of broth to keep moist.
