TURKEY MEATLOAF WITH SPINACH & MOZZARELLA



TURKEY MEATLOAF WITH SPINACH & MOZZARELLA image

Categories     turkey

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 pounds of ground turkey {use ground beef, if desired}
1/4 cup milk
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup ketchup {with an additional 1/4 cup used to top the loaf}
1 to 2 eggs
3/4 cup bread crumbs {store bought or homemade}
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
1 teaspoon sage leaves
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon oregano
a dash of salt, pepper
Inside Layer Ingredients
3/4 cup fresh spinach, chopped {if you use frozen, make sure it's thawed}
3/4 cup mozzarella, grated {optional}

Steps:

  • Mix all of the 'Meat Mixture' ingredients into a bowl. Lay out a large piece of aluminum foil and flatten the meat mixture on the foil until it is approximately 12 inches x 6 inches. Next, sprinkle on a layer of fresh spinach, followed by mozzarella. Using the aluminum foil to assist you, begin to roll the meat, removing the foil as you go. Try to pick up the loaf before the final bit of rolling is done and transfer into your baking dish {a 9 x 11 glass baking dish works well}. Completely remove the foil. Cover the meatloaf with 1/4 cup of ketchup by smearing it all over the top. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 1 hour 15 minutes - 1 hour 30 minutes. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

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.

Tips:

  • Defrost turkey meat thoroughly before cooking. This will help ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Use a meatloaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches in size. This will give the meatloaf enough room to expand while cooking.
  • Pack the meatloaf mixture firmly into the pan. This will help prevent it from falling apart while cooking.
  • Bake the meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meatloaf.

Conclusion:

Turkey meatloaf with spinach and mozzarella is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of lean turkey, fresh spinach, and melted mozzarella cheese, this meatloaf is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
