Not many meatloaves have so many qualifiers, but it just wouldn't be right if we left the title at “meatloaf.” For example, the “Italian” part comes through in so many ways: the multiple cheeses, the marinara sauce that the meatballs were born to sop up, the veggies tossed in garlic. The turkey and the meatloaf are self-explanatory and the mini… well… these little bites of loaf taste exactly as the Platonic meatloaf should. Wait, Plato's from Greece… we're going to have to add a few more words to this title, folks. Tip: Line 'em up! The best way to remove the ends of green beans is to line them up evenly, then remove them with one cut.
