Thanksgiving Meatloaf

I love Thanksgiving dinner and hate to only have it during the holidays, but it is way too much work to have it more than once a year. So I found this recipe to appease my need for a Thanksgiving dinner throughout the year. 
It literally tastes like a thanksgiving dinner all in one.
Turkey, sausage, cranberries, stuffing, apples--served with mashed sweet potatoes and veggies... amazing.
Thanksgiving Meatloaf
1 lb. ground lean turkey breast
1/2 lb ground turkey sausage
1/2 tsp. rosemary
1/4 tsp. thyme
1/4 tsp. sage
1 large apple, chopped
1/2 white onion chopped
3/4 cup dried cranberries
1 egg
1 1/2 stuffing mix (if I don't have this on hand I will use whatever leftover bread I have)
1 1/2 cup turkey or chicken broth
salt and pepper
1-2 Tbs. olive oil

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a large casserole dish (or cookie sheet) with olive oil. In large bowl, combine turkey, herbs, apple, onion cranberries and egg. In separate bowl combine stuffing with broth until stuffing absorbs all the liquid. Add to turkey mixture and salt and pepper as desired. Mix well.
Turn out into greased casserole dish and shape loaf. Coat with olive oil and transfer to oven.
Roast until brown and cooked through (about 45 minutes).
