Stuffed Turkey Meatloaf image

Provided by Aaron McCargo Jr.

Time 1h17m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Oil, for greasing dish
1 (10-ounce) box chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1/2 cup crumbled feta
1/2 cup seeded and finely chopped red jalapeno
2 tablespoons yogurt
3/4 cup cold milk
1/2 cup quick-cooking grits
1 onion, diced
2 1/2 pounds ground turkey
2 eggs
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
1/4 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Lightly grease a 9 by 13-inch casserole dish.
  • Filling: Using a kitchen towel, squeeze off the excess liquid from the spinach. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the spinach, feta, jalapenos, and yogurt. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the milk and grits. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the onion, turkey, eggs, Worcestershire, parsley, stock, salt, pepper, and the grits. Mix until well combined. Transfer half of the mixture to the casserole dish and shape it into a medium-sized log. Using your fingers, make an indentation in the meat for the filling. This should resemble a canoe. Add the filling to the indentation and top with the remaining meat. Form the meatloaf, being sure to cover the filling completely with meat. Pour the tomato sauce over the meatloaf. Bake in the oven until the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 55 to 60 minutes. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 cloves garlic
Extra virgin olive oil
1 pound fresh spinach, well rinsed
1 medium onion, chopped
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch cayenne

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.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
2 egg whites

  • Use your hands to really combine the mixture.
  • After you have squeezed as much moisture as you can from the spinach combine it with the cheese, nutmeg& season with salt& pepper.
  • On a piece of plastic wrap or wax paper spread out the meat mixture in a rectangle apprx 12 x 8".
  • Spread the spinach mixture on top leaving apprx 1/2" clear all around the meat edges.

  • Press gently as you go to make sure you have a firmly rolled loaf.

  • If you are using the ketchup spread it on top of the loaf before putting it in the oven.

Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking the turkey meatloaf.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meatloaf. It should reach 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
  • Allow the meatloaf to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This helps the juices redistribute and results in a more flavorful and moist dish.
  • For a crispy crust, brush the top of the meatloaf with melted butter or olive oil before baking.
  • Feel free to experiment with different vegetables and herbs in the spinach stuffing. Some popular variations include mushrooms, bell peppers, carrots, and thyme.
  • Serve the turkey meatloaf with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
