Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed
- 2 (10-ounce) packages frozen spinach, thawed and excess water squeezed out
- 1 large (10 ounce) cooked baking potato, peeled
- 1 cup 1 percent milk
- 1 large egg, plus 1 egg white
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon dried mint
- Pinch ground cloves
- 3 teaspoons kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound ground lean turkey
- 4 plum tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat, add the onions and garlic and cook stirring occasionally until soft and brown, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a food processor, along with the spinach, potato, milk, egg, egg white, Worcestershire, lemon zest, mint, cloves, salt and pepper. Pulse until everything is finely chopped and evenly mixed together.
Use a rubber spatula to transfer spinach mixture a bowl. Add the turkey, and stir everything together. Transfer meatloaf mixture to a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan (1 1/2 quarts) and bake 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove loaf from oven, let rest for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, chop the tomatoes and toss with the olive oil, salt and parsley. Slice meatloaf and serve with the tomato salad.

I took heed of the recommendations of those before me and used only 1 (12 oz package of frozen spinach. I substituted oatmeal for the potato as I always used oatmeal in my meatloaf. I am truly baffled by those who ended up with a "green gloppy mess" - something that was inedible and had a texture/taste that didn't remotely resemble meat loaf. Mine was perfect! And such a welcome departure from the typical meatloaf. This will definitely be made again and again and again.

Selected this slimmed down recipe - I've been dieting - he's bored with the usual. We both loved the recipe! I paired it with some mashed cauliflower and some steamed green beans for a low cal Sunday Dinner.
I did notice that, for a pound of ground turkey, that I did not need all the ingreditent that end up in the blender - it was simply too much. So I kept about half of it aside and will consider making a quiche with it.

I tried this meatloaf and absolutely loved it but my husband was less impressed. I did make some modifications. Instead of 1 pound of ground turkey I used 1 1/2 pounds and instead of 2- 10 oz containers of frozen spinach I used only one. I think the balance was perfect. The rest of the recipe I kept exactly the same. In the future I would leave out the cloves and reduce the salt. My husband thought the cloves gave it a weird taste and it was way too salty for him. It was salty but I still liked it. I would definitely make this again. I am gluten and grain sensitive so its the perfect meatloaf recipe for me.
