Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey (preferably 93% lean)
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 3 tablespoons Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Optional: additional ketchup for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Add the cooked spinach and onion mixture to the turkey mixture. Use your hands or a spoon to gently mix everything together until evenly combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the meatloaf dense.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to shape it into an even loaf.
If desired, spread an additional 2 tablespoons of ketchup over the top for a classic glaze.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Allow the meatloaf to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps it hold its shape when serving.
Slice and serve warm. Pair with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad.
