Any idea why my turkey meatloaf keeps falling apart?

Kitchen crew! I've got a turkey meatloaf mystery on my hands – it keeps falling apart every time I make it. I thought I was following the recipe to a T. Does anyone know what might be causing this? Would really appreciate your insights to keep it together next time! Thanks!

Sounds frustrating! Try adding more breadcrumbs or an extra egg to bind the ingredients together better. Also, make sure not to overmix the meatloaf. Hopefully, that helps keep it intact next time!

Crumbling turkey meatloaf woes? It might be a lack of binder (eggs or breadcrumbs), overmixing, sneaky moisture from veggies, or forgetting to let it rest. Fix those and you'll be a meatloaf maestro in no time!

Your turkey meatloaf might be falling apart due to a lack of binding ingredients. Try adding more breadcrumbs or oats, along with a binder like eggs or a vegan alternative such as flaxseed or chia seeds mixed with water. Mixing the ingredients gently and not overworking the meat mixture can also help maintain its structure. Additionally, letting the meatloaf rest for a few minutes after baking can help it set before slicing.
