Spinach-Stuffed Turkey
Meatloaf
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup coarsely chopped mushrooms
1 small onion, chopped
1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed
dry
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese - divided use
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 pound lean ground turkey
3/4 cup quick oats
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon Italian seasonings
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Heat oven to 375°F (175°C). Lightly
spray medium skillet with cooking spray. Cook mushrooms and onion
in skillet over medium-low heat 4 minutes or until onion is tender;
remove from heat. Add spinach, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and
Parmesan cheese; mix well. Set aside.
- In large bowl, combine turkey, oats, milk,
egg white, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper; mixing lightly
but thoroughly. Spoon 2/3 of turkey mixture lengthwise down center
of 11 x 7-inch glass baking dish. Form a deep indentation down
middle of turkey; fill indentation with reserved spinach mixture.
Top with remaining turkey, forming a loaf. Seal edges to completely
enclose spinach filling.
- Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until thermometer
registers 170°F (80°C) and juices show no pink color.
Remove from oven; sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese.
Return to oven 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese melts. Let stand
5 minutes before slicing.
