TURKEY SPINACH MEAT LOAF
Ground turkey in this recipe lovers the fat while spinach gives the meat loaf even more nutritional value. The spinach also helps keep the texture moist...and the green flecks add such pretty color to the slices.-Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Greendale, Wisconsin

Steps:
- Place garlic cloves in small saucepan, add enough olive oil to cover them, and place over very low heat. Cook about 40 minutes, until garlic is tender but not browned. Drain garlic, and reserve oil. While garlic cooks, remove and discard stems and heavy leaf ribs from spinach.
- Place onion in nonstick sauté pan over low heat. Cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add spinach leaves and salt, and stir until spinach wilts. Line a small baking sheet with several thicknesses of paper towel, and spread spinach mixture on towel and refrigerate to cool.
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a mixing bowl or bowl of an electric mixer combine turkey, thyme, pepper, cayenne and cooked garlic cloves; mix well.
- Remove spinach from refrigerator, and chop. Add to mixing bowl, and mix well by hand or on low speed by machine. Form into loaf shape.
- Heat a heavy skillet, preferably oven-proof. Add a little of the garlic oil and sear loaf top and bottom until lightly browned. Sides can be seared but only if you have a very large spatula to turn loaf easily. Place skillet in oven or transfer loaf to shallow baking dish, then place in oven. Bake about 50 minutes, until a thermometer registers 160 degrees. Remove from oven and serve, or refrigerate and serve cold. Reserve remaining garlic oil for another use.

Tips
- Use lean ground turkey: This will help reduce the fat and calorie content of the meatloaf.
- Add plenty of vegetables: Spinach, onions, and bell peppers are all great additions that will add flavor and nutrients to your meatloaf.
- Use a light binder: Egg whites or bread crumbs are both good options that will help hold the meatloaf together without adding a lot of extra calories.
- Bake the meatloaf at a high temperature: This will help to brown the outside of the meatloaf and keep the inside moist.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meatloaf, making it more tender and flavorful.
