Another yucky, rainy day! I cannot wait to get home and try out this recipe a friend of mine e-mailed to me! Kerry said she hadn't tried it when we were messaging back and forth about it but her husband was raving about how delicious it was! It sure looks like it's super easy AND super healthy! Perfect! We'll give it a shot!
Turkey Meatloaf
Passed on from my friend Kerry Abs
Ingredients:
- 2 pkgs lean ground turkey
- 2 c. dry instant oats
- 2 c. chopped fresh spinach
- 3 eggs
- 1 c. organic tomato sauce
- 1 Mrs. Dash seasoning packet
Mix together, and bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
That's it!
I've just sent Big Jer (My Dad) to the store for the ingredients, so I'm ready to rock as soon as I get home from work! I am just so excited! Stay tuned!

A little update for y'all... (No, I'm not at all Southern, but I totally wish I had a cute little Southern twang to my accent like my boyfriend does!)
I've been home from work for exactly half an hour and dinner is in the oven and smelling wonderfully! I am also boiling some naked potatoes so that I can serve the turkey meatloaf with some homemade mashed. I have made the executive decision to bake my meatloaf in a bunt pan...? Kerry didn't specify and it was sitting on the counter, so I went for it! :) andddd I did put a little extra tomato sauce over the top, only because I had a little left in the jar! No sense in keeping just a little! I didn't have any Mrs. Dash left, so I just used Hannaford brand Italian Seasoning. I'm sure it's all the same!
The meatloaf was SO easy to make... and the clean-up was a cinch!
So far, I am LOVING this meal. I hope it tastes as good as it smells! I'll get back to ya after dinner!

Dinner was a hit! It was really very good, for such a healthy meal!
The spinach really gave it a nice flavor! Though, I think next time I'll add a bit of minced garlic, or maybe a little chopped onion. The bunt pan worked well. However, I would definitely have put the extra tomato sauce into the bottom of the bunt pan, considering when I flipped it the sauce ended up on the bottom of the loaf! Oops! Thank goodness there was no mess! I might also consider halving the recipe, since this made a lot more meatloaf than I had expected! Unless of course I was entertaining a large crowd as I'm sure this recipe would've fed 6-8 adults as is.
The BEST part-- there was minimal clean-up! My fav!
Verdict: Highly Recommended!
