Individual Turkey Meatloaves

Not only are these individual meatloaves adorable, but they are lightened up by swapping the beef with turkey. Give these perfectly portioned meatloaves, a try tonight! Pickles have a salty briny flavour so don’t use fresh cucumbers! And if you don’t fancy the idea of adding pickles then you could add grated mushrooms and carrots into the mix. Or you could try the recipe below the video as it uses zucchini instead.
