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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier cleanup.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to shape it into an even loaf.

Step 7

If desired, spread an additional 2 tablespoons of ketchup over the top for a classic glaze.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Allow the meatloaf to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps it hold its shape when serving.

Step 10

Slice and serve warm. Pair with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad.
