How can you tell when a turkey meatloaf is fully baked?

[Xerxes]

Hi, everyone! I'm on my turkey meatloaf journey and finding myself a bit stumped. How can you really tell when it's fully baked and ready to enjoy? 🍽 I want to make sure it's cooked perfectly inside without drying it out. Any signs or tips would be super helpful! Thanks you so much!

When cooking turkey meatloaf, it's key to ensure it's cooked just right. You'll know it's done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), the juices run clear, the texture feels firm when pressed gently, the exterior has a beautiful golden brown color, and remember to let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing for optimal juiciness.

Thanks a lot I'll take note of that

Insert a meat thermometer into the center; if it reads 165°F, it's good to go, though keep an eye out for any pinkness.
