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.

I am on a pretty strict diet to lose baby weight and this is the most flavorful and interesting thing i have eaten in 6 weeks. The only alteration i made was i added the spinach in when i added the turkey. wonderful!

Definitely TOO much spinach for 1lb of turkey. Luckily I had an extra lb of ground turkey to add it it. Didn't look appetizing at all! Turned out we opted to go out for dinner!

food network has to take this off their website if they wish to preserve their reputation. i only used half the spinach recommended and it turned into spinach soup anyway, nothing resembling a meat loaf. i wasted my time putting this together and i wasted food i had to throw in the garbage. very disappointed.

The idea was a good one. I will use it again, but obviously have to adjust the amount of spinach, one box would have been plenty. I am not sure what the test chefs were thinking when they published this recipe.

Some liked, some were afraid of the green meatloaf.
Overall: It's good, but tastes nothing like meatloaf. A good light and healthy substitude to a meaty dinner. I served with cooked and steamed veggies, and smashed potatoes.

this recipe was like having an entire meal. I really loved the spinach and lemon combo. I will make it again.

If disgusting gobs of green are up your alley, then thank the food network for this globular heap. It think it's called Slimmed Down because it will turn your stomach.
