This is one of my favorite meatloaf recipes. I usually make it with a box of frozen spinach, and this time I used fresh. I used quite a bit of fresh spinach, and it still turned out with amazing flavor!

| Meatloaf ready to eat with the sauce |
Ingredients
- ¾ to 1 lb. ground turkey
- 5 oz. frozen spinach or about 10 oz. fresh spinach
- 4 oz. low fat mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup whole-wheat bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ⅓ cup balsamic dressing, divided
- 6 oz. jar roasted red peppers - I use half of a 12 oz. jar, and freeze the other half
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F.

| Ready for the oven |
Mix turkey, well drained spinach, cheese, bread crumbs, egg, garlic, and 2 tablespoons dressing until well blended. Shape into a mound on a baking pan. You can also place mixture in a loaf pan, if you prefer. I think mounding the mixture with no sides creates a crisper and more browned exterior.
Bake 45 to 50 minutes.
Meanwhile, blend remaining dressing with drained red peppers in blender or food processer. Serve with meat loaf.
Enjoy ~ Let me know if you have any questions!
