Provided by Aaron McCargo Jr.

Time 1h17m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Oil, for greasing dish
1 (10-ounce) box chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1/2 cup crumbled feta
1/2 cup seeded and finely chopped red jalapeno
2 tablespoons yogurt
3/4 cup cold milk
1/2 cup quick-cooking grits
1 onion, diced
2 1/2 pounds ground turkey
2 eggs
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
1/4 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce

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.

TURKEY-SPINACH MEATLOAF



Turkey-Spinach Meatloaf image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 cloves garlic
Extra virgin olive oil
1 pound fresh spinach, well rinsed
1 medium onion, chopped
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch cayenne

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.

SPINACH - STUFFED MEATLOAF



Spinach - Stuffed Meatloaf image

This is a great tasting meatloaf that adds that important iron to your diet. This recipe was originally from the cookbook 1,000 Low Fat recipes by Terry Golson The preparation time does not include the resting time in the fridge. I like to get it ready the day before and then just pop it in the oven an hour before dinner.

Provided by Bergy

Categories     Cheese

Time 1h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
2 egg whites
1 cup fresh soft breadcrumbs (white or whole wheat)
salt & pepper
1 shallot, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and very well squeezed
3/4 cup lowfat mozzarella cheese, grated
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup ketchup (optional)

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.

Conclusion:

Spinach-stuffed turkey meatloaf is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of lean protein, fresh vegetables, and flavorful seasonings, this meatloaf is a surefire hit. So next time you are looking for a tasty and nutritious meal, give spinach-stuffed turkey meatloaf a try!
