Turkey Meatloaf- Who Knew?

I never tasted meatloaf until I was in my 20's. The whole idea of it seemed so "American" and just "not-Kosher" to me. Growing up in Montreal, I actually never knew anyone who cooked or ate meatloaf... A few years ago, I found this recipe for Turkey Zucchini Meatloaf on Epicurious.com. It is so good, and it always gets rave reviews. It has this sweet & tangy apricot glaze that is so perfect. Plus, I usually double the recipe and freeze the extras. That way, whenever I need to prepare a quick dinner, I just pull one out of the freezer and let it thaw before reheating it. Also, it tastes great in a sandwich the next day.
