Glazed Turkey Meatloaf
This is a tender and juicy meatloaf with a sweet tangy tomato glaze. Leave the tomato glaze off if you are avoiding nightshades. I like to serve this with a small side salad for a full meal. Recipe adapted from Dan Kailukaitis.

- Combine the sautéed vegetable mixture, pork panko, gelatin, broth, parsley, gluten-free soy sauce, sriracha, Worcestershire, pepper, turkey, sausage, and egg in a large bowl and stir well to combine. Shape mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
