Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Soften the stuffing: In a large bowl, mix the stuffing mix with turkey stock. Let it sit for a few minutes to absorb the liquid.
Cook the vegetables: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, celery, garlic, and Creole Kick. Cook for about 5 minutes, until tender and fragrant.
Mix it all together: Combine the sautéed veggies with the soaked stuffing. Add the beaten eggs, ground turkey, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until evenly combined.
Shape and bake: Form the mixture into a loaf on a parchment-lined baking sheet or place it in a loaf pan. Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 155°F. Let rest 10–15 minutes.
Make the gravy: In a saucepan, melt the butter. Whisk in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes. Slowly whisk in stock until smooth and thickened. Add browning sauce if using, then season to taste.
Serve: Slice the meatloaf, drizzle with warm gravy, and serve with cranberry sauce on the side.
