SPINACH STUFFED MEATLOAF
- 20 ounces ground turkey
- 2 egg whites
- 8 ounces white mushrooms
- ½ cup diced red pepper
- ½ cup diced onion
- 2 tablespoons minced shallots
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups spinach
- 3 vine tomatoes
Method
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Mix ground turkey and egg whites in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Using a blender or food processor, pulse the mushrooms until they are in small pieces. Don’t over-blend the mushrooms; you do not want a puree.
- Add the mushrooms, red pepper, onion, shallots, and garlic cloves to the bowl and mix well with turkey and egg whites.
- Add Italian seasoning, garlic powder and salt to bowl and mix until everything is incorporated.
- Using a large spoon or hands, put turkey mixture onto parchment paper in an even, rectangular shape.
- Put the spinach on top of the mixture.
- Using the parchment paper, roll the turkey mixture to form a round loaf of meat. The spinach will form a green swirl within the meatloaf.
- Pat the ends of the meatloaf close and put it into a loaf pan.
- Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
- While meatloaf is cooking, puree tomatoes in a food processor and set aside.
- Once 35 minutes is up, take the meatloaf out of the oven and top with pureed tomatoes.
- Cook for an additional 10 minutes or until meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove from oven and enjoy!
