This has me fooled the first time I saw it. One of my friends is really good with designs and this looked like a dessert cake to me. That was until I smelled it. I wasn’t the only one pranked! There were so many of us. I have to admit though, that while I’m not a lover of “meat loaf”, this one’s truly irresistible.
Our friend over at Mr.Food has this to say about this recipe:
“Meat loaf lovers will enjoy our Turkey Loaf Cake made with lighter ground turkey for a healthier version of this comforting old favorite that just happens to be perfect for serving on April Fools Day!”
This never fooled my food-loving friends. But they still loved this recipe very much that the serving platter was cleaned out in just a few minutes. They took their silly revenge on the poor Turkey loaf.
Ingredients
2 1/2 pounds Tyson lean ground turkey breast
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 cup Progresso Italian-flavored bread crumbs
1 cup Heinz ketchup
2 Eggland’s eggs
1 teaspoon Morton salt
1/2 teaspoon McCormick black pepper
4 cups warm mashed potatoes
8 cherry tomatoes, halved
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 10-inch Bundt or tube pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, onion, bread crumbs, ketchup, eggs, salt, and pepper; mix well. Place in prepared pan.
Bake 1 to 1-1/4 hours, or until juices run clear; drain off any liquid and allow to sit 5 minutes then invert onto a serving platter.
“Frost” meat loaf with mashed potatoes and garnish bottom edge with cherry tomato halves.

Quick Tip: You might want to drizzle beef gravy over the mashed potato frosting to look like chocolate glaze.
Thanks again to Mr.Food for this amazing recipe.
