The internal temperature of meatloaf should be at least 160°F (71°C) when using ground beef, and 165°F (74°C) when using ground turkey. Here are some tips on how to cook meatloaf to the correct temperature:

• Oven temperature: The oven temperature is typically set at 350°F (177°C) for making meatloaf. This temperature ensures that the meatloaf cooks through without drying out or burning.

• Cooking time: A meatloaf made from two pounds of meat with all the extras mixed in will bake in about an hour in a 350°F (177°C) oven. However, its best to start checking the meatloafs temperature 10-15 minutes before the recipe says it will be done.

• Using a thermometer: The most reliable way to tell when meatloaf is done is by checking the internal temperature of the meatloaf with an instant-read thermometer, inserting it into the center of the meatloaf. Cook meatloaf until it registers 160°F (71°C) when using ground beef, and 165°F (74°C) when using ground turkey.

• Resting time: After removing the meatloaf from the oven, allow it to rest on the counter for 15 minutes. Use a thermometer to be sure that the meat reaches 160°F (71°C) during the rest. This resting time allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meatloaf, making it more flavorful and moist.

By following these tips, you can ensure that your meatloaf is fully cooked and safe to eat, while also being juicy and delicious.
