My family really enjoyed this dish! I used the packaged sundried tomatoe vs the jar of sundried tomatoe. Just wondering if I should have used the jared sundried tomoates instead for more moisture and color. I'd say it was a hit. Thanks Giada!

Neighbors made this for us once at their house and I had thirds. Then they made it again after I came home from a minor hospital stay. I quickly regained my appetite! It is the best meatloaf I have ever had, and as others say, you can serve it as meal with whipped potatoes and other sides. It is also great in sandwich though. Neighbors hooked us up on a different sauce- chipotle pepper sauce at Central Market. Anyway, the key is the Pancetta. We also like scallops wrapped in bacon, shrimp stuffed with feta ricotta mix and wrapped in prosciutto. The Pancetta with Turkey is great combo.
Enjoy!

My husband and I both don't like meatloaf, because our moms made the meat mixed with dry onion soup and glopped with ketchup and brown sugar mess when we were kids. That stuff is nasty.

This is fantastic!! I use ground beef (usually sirloin for the receipe instead of turkey and it is really good. I also substitute parmesan for romano, because it's easier to find. And I make sure the sun-dried tomatoes are in oil, which gives it a nice, rich flavor. It also makes great leftovers and sandwiches. It's really good on a french roll, with some marinara and melted mozzarella on top, it you have any leftover!

I've made these meatloaf sandwiches on a number of occasions. They have become a favorite, and our guests love them as well. One of the neat things about this recipe is that you can form the loaf to the size slice you want -- small diameter for small rolls, larger diameter for larger rolls.
Highly recommended for a marvelous and tasty change of pace.

Great recipe, I omit the pancetta, and bake it in a baking pan (not a loaf pan. I tried the pancetta but with the parchment paper it was just too greasy for me since we are trying to eat healthy. I have also used the egg substitute and parm/romano cheese mixture with great success. My family loves it.

Delicious, moist meatloaf that can be adapted based on what you have on hand (as many prior reviewers have done. Used what I had on hand: ground up panko crumbs and saltine crackers, 1/2 and 1/2 instead of milk, lean ground turkey - used the whole 1.25 lb. package even though recipe called for 1 lb., bacon instead of pancetta, and served as entree instead of sandwich (without arugula mayonnaise. Also cut the salt to 1/2 tsp. based on other reviewers. Lastly, I did use a thermometer to make sure it wasn't under or over cooked, and broiled it at the last minute to brown up a little. Would make this again! Next time would add Kitchen Bouquet or something else to color the turkey.

I have made a number of different turkey meatloaf recipes but none as easy and as good as this one. The only problem that I had (and it wasn't with the recipe itself was that the deli cut the pancetta too thin so it wasn't easy to roll, but I know now for next time.

I haven't tried this particular recipe yet but generally when I make meatloaf I go half turkey, half beef, but going all turkey is much healthier! This looks delicious and I am sure my entire family will love this recipe!

This is just DIVINE!!!!!!! But I have a question. When I bake it in the wax paper and then I let it cool down, the wax paper sticks to the meatloaf and well...it doesn't look like a loaf any more. Anyone else had this problem? Just me? Tips?
