Brown Rice Meatloaf

Tonight we had Brown Rice Meatloaf for dinner with steamed broccoli.  I’m not a huge meatloaf fan, but the one I made tonight was really good.  It could have something to do with the fact that it tasted nothing like meatloaf (my opinion).  It was extremely juicy and had a ton of flavor.  We both liked it and I will be making it again.  It was very quick to get together, but keep in mind that it needs to bake in the oven for an hour.

1 lb lean ground turkey
