For a richer flavor, try browning the ground turkey before mixing it with the other ingredients.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese on top. Cheddar or provolone would also be delicious.
If you don't have roasted vegetable crackers, regular buttery crackers will work just fine.
Make sure not to overmix the meatloaf mixture, as this can result in a tougher texture.
