2 stalks celery, finely diced 

3 cloves garlic, minced 

2 pounds ground turkey

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment.

2. Simmer the ketchup and cranberry sauce together on the stove for a few minutes.

3. Saute the onion and celery in 1 T olive oil until softened. Add the garlic and saute another minute.

4. Combine the turkey, stuffing mix, and eggs in a bowl. Mix in 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper, 1 cup of the ketchup mixture, and the onion-celery mixture.

5. Shape into a loaf and brush with the rest of the ketchup mixture. Cook 1 hour and 15 minutes. Rest 5 minutes before slicing.

If you like, add a pan of sliced sweet potatoes after the meatloaf has been roasting for 30 minutes.
