I make a pretty mean meatloaf, if I do say so myself. I actually have several variations on one meatloaf that I make, depending on what I’m in the mood for. I’ve always made my meatloaf with beef. I got a request asking for a turkey meatloaf not long ago. I found one today that was being offered to Delicious Bytes bloggers and thought it would be perfect to share, especially since it’s creators, The Neely, were a big part of the Huddle to Fight Hunger program. Since September, Kraft Foods has teamed up with celebrity chefs Gina and Pat Neely, sportscaster Erin Andrews, and football legend Joe Montana to help fight hunger in America through the Huddle to Fight Hunger program. The program has successfully donated over 20 million meals to Feeding America, the nation’s leading hunger relief organization. The program culminated today at the first-ever Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl college football game, having more than 20 million meals donated.
