Turkey Green Peppercorn and Bacon Meatloaf

Rolled oats can be used instead of breadcrumbs. Turkey meatloaf tastes unique with ketchup, gravy, mustard and a wide selection of other sauces. Be creative by harmonizing with the accompaniment such as mashed potatoes, sweet potato fries, a rice pilaf or even a soup. This recipe delivers a satiated of flavour with the green peppercorn speckled through the meatloaf.
