- 1 cup milk

Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
-
Prepare Loaf Pans: Line the bottom and sides of two 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pans with waxed paper and set them aside.
-
Sautรฉ Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the celery, onions, carrots, and garlic to the pan, and sautรฉ until the onions are translucent and the carrots have softened, about 7 minutes.
-
Add Herbs: Sprinkle in the basil, oregano, rosemary, black pepper, and salt. Sautรฉ briefly to release the flavors of the herbs. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the sautรฉed vegetables with the breadcrumbs, eggs, cream, sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan, mozzarella, ketchup, and ground turkey. Mix by hand until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
-
Form Loaves: Mound the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pans, dividing it evenly between the two pans.
-
Bake: Place the loaf pans in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 180 degrees Fahrenheit on an instant-read thermometer.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the meatloaves to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Top each slice with a generous dollop of the creamy horseradish sauce.
-
Prepare Horseradish Sauce: While the meatloaves are baking, prepare the creamy horseradish sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour until smooth.
-
Add Cream and Milk: Remove the pan from heat and gradually whisk in the cream and milk, ensuring there are no lumps.
-
Thicken Sauce: Return the pan to the stove and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and begins to bubble.
-
Season: Turn off the heat and stir in the salt, white pepper, and horseradish. Adjust seasoning to taste.
-
Serve Warm: Serve the creamy horseradish sauce warm alongside the turkey meatloaf slices.
