Bacon Spinach Turkey Meat Loaf With Tomato Jam Food

TURKEY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place spinach in a microwave-safe bowl. Defrost in the microwave for about 5 minutes. Let rest. Once cooled place spinach in a double layer of paper towels and squeeze out all of the excess liquid possible.
• To a large mixing bowl, add the ground turkey, spinach, milk, bread crumbs, onion soup mix, 1 1/2 cups cheese, egg, Worcestershire sauce, bell pepper, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
• Spray an 8-inch x 8-inch glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
• Put the turkey mixture in the pan and spread it into an even layer.
• Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese on top of the meatloaf. Pour the tomato sauce on top of the cheese, and sprinkle the diced onion on top of the tomato sauce.
• Bake for 1 hour. If the top of your meatloaf begins to brown too quickly, carefully place a piece of foil over the top and secure loosely.
• Remove meatloaf from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before cutting into 6 slices.

• Slowly whisk milk into onion mixture. Bring to a boil, continuously whisking, until sauce is thick and creamy, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Stir spinach and half-and-half into sauce; cook until spinach is heated through, 4 to 6 minutes.

TURKEY-SPINACH MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Place garlic cloves in small saucepan, add enough olive oil to cover them, and place over very low heat. Cook about 40 minutes, until garlic is tender but not browned. Drain garlic, and reserve oil. While garlic cooks, remove and discard stems and heavy leaf ribs from spinach.
• Place onion in nonstick sauté pan over low heat. Cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add spinach leaves and salt, and stir until spinach wilts. Line a small baking sheet with several thicknesses of paper towel, and spread spinach mixture on towel and refrigerate to cool.
• Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a mixing bowl or bowl of an electric mixer combine turkey, thyme, pepper, cayenne and cooked garlic cloves; mix well.
• Remove spinach from refrigerator, and chop. Add to mixing bowl, and mix well by hand or on low speed by machine. Form into loaf shape.
• Heat a heavy skillet, preferably oven-proof. Add a little of the garlic oil and sear loaf top and bottom until lightly browned. Sides can be seared but only if you have a very large spatula to turn loaf easily. Place skillet in oven or transfer loaf to shallow baking dish, then place in oven. Bake about 50 minutes, until a thermometer registers 160 degrees. Remove from oven and serve, or refrigerate and serve cold. Reserve remaining garlic oil for another use.
