Hey there! Rubberiness in turkey meatloaf can happen for a few reasons, but I think the main culprit might be overmixing the ingredients. Sometimes, if we mix too vigorously, the proteins in the meat can become too tight, resulting in a rubbery texture. Try mixing the ingredients just until they're combined next time!

Hey there! I know how disappointing a dry, rubbery turkey meatloaf can be. To add some moisture, try mixing in grated veggies like carrots or zucchini. You could even stir in a splash of chicken broth. And be careful not to overmix the meat mixture, as that can make it dense. Also, keep an eye on the cooking time so you don't overcook it. I hope these tips help you get that perfect meatloaf texture!
