Spinach-Stuffed Turkey Meatloaf

Recipe View Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)

Recipe View Lightly grease a medium skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-low heat. Cook and stir mushrooms and onion until the onion is softened and translucent, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a separate bowl, combine the thawed and drained spinach, 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well to create the spinach filling. (3 minutes)

Recipe View In a large bowl, gently combine the ground turkey, oats, milk, egg white, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix lightly until just combined to avoid a tough meatloaf. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Spoon approximately 2/3 of the turkey mixture lengthwise down the center of an 11x7-inch glass baking dish. Create a deep indentation down the middle of the turkey mixture to accommodate the spinach filling. (3 minutes)

Recipe View Carefully fill the indentation with the spinach mixture, distributing it evenly. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Top with the remaining turkey mixture, carefully forming a loaf shape. Seal the edges well to completely enclose the spinach filling and prevent it from drying out. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven until the juices run clear when pierced with a fork and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf reads 165 degrees F (75 degrees C), approximately 30 to 35 minutes. (35 minutes)

Recipe View Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the meatloaf. Continue baking until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 1 to 2 minutes. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more moist and flavorful meatloaf. (5 minutes)
