I got this recipe from a friend’s mom, and it is a family favorite! Kids will love helping construct the meatloaf “swirl” and the turkey and spinach make it a healthier option than traditional meatloaf. Serve with a side of corn and you have a meal! If you have leftovers, this recipe freezes beautifully. Pop it in the microwave for a few minutes and it’s just as good the second time around.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground turkey
- 1 cup dry Italian bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 3/4 tsp. dried oregano leaves
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 8 oz. tomato sauce
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- 9 oz package frozen spinach, thawed, well drained
- 3/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350.
Step 2: In large bowl, with your hands or wooden spoon, combine turkey, bread crumbs, onion, oregano, salt, Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce and egg. Mix well.
Step 3: Spray large piece of foil with non-stick cooking spray. Shape turkey into an eight by 12-inch rectangle on foil. Place spinach evenly on top of turkey mixture; sprinkle with cheese.
Step 4: Using foil to lift meat, roll up tightly, starting at short end. Remove foil.
Step 5: Carefully place in baking pan, seam side down. Press gently to seal ends. Bake 1 hour or until turkey is browned.

I have actually tried this recipe from Laurel before & it was great. My husband is not a big fan of ground turkey recipes or spinach, but he loved it! Highly recommended!
This turkey meatloaf dish was terrific. The cheese and spinach made this dish extra special. Both of my sons said it was great. My teenage son is very picky and he wanted more. The tip provided about using the cooking spray on the tin foil made preparing this very easy. I will certainly make this again.
