For a richer flavor, use a combination of dark and light meat turkey. Ensure the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption. If you don't have fresh breadcrumbs, you can use dried breadcrumbs, but soak them in a little milk or broth first to add moisture. The gravy can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving. Consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the gravy for extra depth of flavor.
