Ingredients

  1. 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  2. 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  3. 1 large onion, sliced
  4. One 10-ounce package frozen spinach, thawed and excess water squeezed out
  5. One 10-ounce package frozen spinach, thawed and excess water squeezed out
  6. 1 cup 1-percent milk
  7. 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
  8. 1 tablespoon dried mint
  9. 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  10. 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  11. Pinch of grated nutmeg
  12. 1 large egg plus 1 egg white
  13. 1 cooked large baking potato, peeled (about 10 ounces)
  14. Freshly ground black pepper
  15. 1 pound ground lean turkey
  16. 4 plum tomatoes
  17. 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  18. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  19. 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. For the meatloaf: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat; add the garlic and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and brown, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a food processor along with the spinach, milk, lemon zest, mint, salt, Worcestershire, nutmeg, eggs, potato and some pepper. Pulse until everything is finely chopped and evenly mixed together.
  3. Use a rubber spatula to transfer the spinach mixture to a bowl. Add the turkey and stir everything together. Transfer the meatloaf mixture to a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan (1 1/2 quarts) and bake until the mixture is cooked through, 1 hour 15 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  4. For the tomato salad: Meanwhile, chop the tomatoes and toss with the olive oil, parsley and salt in a medium bowl.
  5. Slice the meatloaf and serve it with the tomato salad.

This was very flavorful, easy to whip together, but it won’t be my go-to healthy meatloaf. I’ve had other turkey meatloafs that were better (Giada and Ina both have good ones), but I’m glad I tried it. Good every now and then but probably won’t make often.
