Ensure the turkey meatloaf is properly seasoned with a balance of herbs, spices, and moisture (like onions or bell peppers) to enhance flavor and prevent it from becoming dry during cooking.
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) to ensure the meatloaf is safe to eat and fully cooked.
