A lean ground turkey meatloaf recipe featuring spinach for added nutrition and moisture. This is a low-fat, high-protein dinner option.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs lean ground turkey (93% lean or higher)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (quick or old-fashioned)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (low sodium if available)
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup ketchup (for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a standard loaf pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper for a free-form loaf.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped spinach, rolled oats, onion, garlic, egg, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the meatloaf tough.
  4. Shape the mixture into a loaf shape and place it in the prepared loaf pan or on the baking sheet.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the ketchup and brown sugar for the glaze. Spread this mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
  6. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  7. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a moister loaf, you can substitute the rolled oats with 1/4 cup of whole wheat breadcrumbs.
  • If you prefer not to use a glaze, you can mix the tomato sauce directly into the meat mixture and skip the topping entirely for a lower sugar option.
  • This meatloaf freezes well after cooking. Cool completely, slice, and store in an airtight container for up to three months.
