Follow these simple steps to create a delicious Spinach Stuffed Turkey Meatloaf:

Preparing the Spinach Mixture

1. Sauté the Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once heated, add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until they are translucent and fragrant.
2. Add the Spinach: Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Preparing the Meatloaf

3. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, eggs, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and paprika.
4. Incorporate the Spinach Mixture: Once the spinach mixture has cooled, add it to the meat mixture and combine thoroughly.

Shaping and Baking

5. Shape the Meatloaf: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan with cooking spray. Transfer the meat mixture into the loaf pan, shaping it evenly.
6. Top with Tomato Sauce: Spread the tomato sauce or ketchup over the top of the meatloaf for added moisture and flavor.
7. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Serving

8. Rest and Slice: Allow the meatloaf to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain moisture and makes slicing easier.
