Turkey Spinach Meat Loaf

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 30 min. YIELD: 10 slices.
Ground turkey in this recipe lovers the fat while spinach gives the meat loaf even more nutritional value. The spinach also helps keep the texture moist...and the green flecks add such pretty color to the slices.—Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Greendale, Wisconsin
