At which point would this be frozen?
My family LOVED this meatloaf recipe.! I had to substitute ground chicken as the kosher butcher nearby was out of turkey. In addition, I simply simmered whole cranberries, chopped apples and orange juice. We just spooned it over each piece of meatloaf and it was delicious!
This sounds wonderful; the combo of turkey and cranberry is classic. Looks good too.
Found this to be too much work; prefer simpler (but good) recipes
