Turkey Sausage & Mozzarella Meatloaf – Low Carb WLS Recipe

Ohhh yes. It’s time for another meatloaf recipe! I love meatloaf so much, I think I will soon make a separate “meatloaf” category on the blog. Not everyone shares in my love, but if you do, you gotta try this!

I bought Sweet Italian turkey sausage links and removed the casing for this recipe. SO much flavor! For extra fun I stuffed it with some 2% mozzarella cheese cubes. Mr W keeps asking if we have any left…even though he knows we don’t. Perhaps it’s his subtle way of asking me to make it again 😉

Important tips: be sure to keep a thermometer handy in your kitchen and check the temperature of your meats! Poultry should read 165F.
