HEALTHY TURKEY VEGGIE MEATLOAF image

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 lbs of 99% fat free ground turkey breast
1/2 cup of shredded zucchini
1 small onion, chopped
1 bag of fresh baby spinach
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup of seasoned bread crumbs
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Ketchup
2 tablespoons Sriracha
Adobo Seasoning
1 Tablespoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
Salt
Black Pepper
Cooking Spray
Loaf Pan
Optional: Cut up pieces of raw red pepper

Steps:

Heat your oven to 375 degrees. Spray a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray. Chop one small onion and sauté it with one tablespoon of olive oil. Once the onions are soft, add the baby spinach. You may need to add an additional half a tablespoon-tablespoon of olive oil to prevent burning and sticking. Once the spinach is wilted, allow the mixture to cool. Add one slightly beaten egg to your turkey meat. Throw in the bread crumbs (You can omit the bread crumbs for carb free cooking-it doesn't alter the recipe too much-it's mearely a binding agent.) and add ketchup and Sriracha. If you prefer something more flavorful, add more of both. Sprinkle on the crushed red pepper flakes, and add Adobo, salt, and pepper to your desired taste. If adding red peppers, do so now. Once the spinach/onion mixture is cool enough to touch, add to the turkey mix. Blend together all ingredients with your hands until they are combined. Make sure to not overly blend the mix as it can become tough. Add the mixture to your sprayed loaf pan. Cook the meat loaf for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, crank up the heat to 400 and cook until desired crispiness.
