Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Stuffed Turkey Meatloaf with Spinach and Cheese.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give a baking sheet a light spritz with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a spacious bowl, combine ground turkey with Italian-seasoned bread crumbs, diced onion, ketchup, egg, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step 3
Mix everything together until it’s well blended and you can’t see any separate ingredients.
Step 4
Next, lay a sheet of parchment paper on your counter and spread the meat mixture into a large rectangle.
Step 5
Now comes the fun part: sprinkle mozzarella cheese and fresh spinach over one half of the meat mixture, adding a burst of flavor and color.
Step 6
Gently fold the other half of the meat mixture over the filled side, pressing down lightly to seal in all that deliciousness.
Step 7
Shape the entire mixture into a log and carefully transfer it to your prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Pop it into the oven and let it bake for about 35 minutes, filling your kitchen with mouthwatering aromas.
Step 9
While your meatloaf is baking, whip up a simple glaze by mixing ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, and a dash of garlic powder in a bowl.
Step 10
Once the timer goes off, take the meatloaf out of the oven and pour that luscious glaze over the top, making it even more irresistible.
Step 11
Return it to the oven for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the center is no longer pink and a trusty instant-read thermometer shows at least 160°F (70°C).
Step 12
When it’s done, let the meatloaf rest for about 5 minutes before slicing into it.
Step 13
This is the moment you’ve been waiting for—serve it up and enjoy every delicious bite!.
