Fontina cheese is an Italian cow’s milk cheese that melts beautifully. Mild in flavor, it is the perfect choice for a pot of fondue or even as a macaroni and cheese topping.  Adding fontina cheese into meatballs or a meatloaf recipe like this one adds not only a rich flavor, but also a moist texture to the meat mixture.

Not only is shredded fontina one of the meatloaf components, but also bread, eggs, and sauté of cremini mushrooms, leeks and garlic. The meatloaf browns up around the edges for a crunchy topping, while the interior is hands-down, one of the most tender slices of meatloaf out there. I dare you to just eat one slice of this ‘Turkey Meatloaf with Fontina and Mushrooms!’
