Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Lightly grease a 9 by 13-inch casserole dish.
- Filling: Using a kitchen towel, squeeze off the excess liquid from the spinach. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the spinach, feta, jalapenos, and yogurt. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix together the milk and grits. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the onion, turkey, eggs, Worcestershire, parsley, stock, salt, pepper, and the grits. Mix until well combined. Transfer half of the mixture to the casserole dish and shape it into a medium-sized log. Using your fingers, make an indentation in the meat for the filling. This should resemble a canoe. Add the filling to the indentation and top with the remaining meat. Form the meatloaf, being sure to cover the filling completely with meat. Pour the tomato sauce over the meatloaf. Bake in the oven until the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 55 to 60 minutes. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

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.

Steps:
- Mix together the beef, egg whites, breadcrumbs salt& pepper, shallots garlic, worcestershire sauce& oregano.
- Use your hands to really combine the mixture.
- After you have squeezed as much moisture as you can from the spinach combine it with the cheese, nutmeg& season with salt& pepper.
- On a piece of plastic wrap or wax paper spread out the meat mixture in a rectangle apprx 12 x 8".
- Spread the spinach mixture on top leaving apprx 1/2" clear all around the meat edges.
- Using the paper (plastic) to help roll up the loaf starting from the 8" side.
- Press gently as you go to make sure you have a firmly rolled loaf.
- Press the outside edges together.
- Tightly wrap the meatloaf in plastic wrap (or wax paper) and refrigerate for at leat an hour (I make the loaf the day before and leave it rolled in the fridge over night to be baked the next day).
- Place the meatloaf on a roasting rack in a roasting pan and bake in a 350F oven for 1 hour.
- If you are using the ketchup spread it on top of the loaf before putting it in the oven.
Tips:
- Thaw the spinach properly: Before using frozen spinach, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or in the microwave on the defrost setting. Squeezing out excess water will help prevent the meatloaf from becoming too watery.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the meatloaf will taste. Look for fresh spinach, ground turkey, and flavorful seasonings.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Shape the meatloaf into a loaf pan: This will help it cook evenly. If you don't have a loaf pan, you can also shape the meatloaf into a ball or freeform.
- Bake the meatloaf at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking meatloaf is 350°F (175°C). This will help it cook through without drying out.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: This will help the juices redistribute and make the meatloaf easier to slice.

With its combination of lean protein, fresh vegetables, and flavorful seasonings, this meatloaf is a surefire hit.
