Receta Savory Meatloaf with Zucchini

In planning a birthday dinner for a mutual friend, a fellow-foodie and I devised this juicy meatloaf with prominent herb flavors. We started with 3 different mostly lean ground meats we had on hand (a good quality turkey, deer meat and pork sausage - but you can use any combination you like.) We like the layers of flavor 3 different meats provide. Then we added shredded zucchini to bump up the moisture. After negotiating seasonings and measurements we proudly mixed, shaped, baked and served this to our guests. There's not much we'd change so it's now our meatloaf recipe keeper! P.S. Meatloaf adapts easily to solar cooking ~ takes a little longer but keeps the kitchen cool!
