Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 pounds of ground turkey {use ground beef, if desired}
1/4 cup milk
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup ketchup {with an additional 1/4 cup used to top the loaf}
1 to 2 eggs
3/4 cup bread crumbs {store bought or homemade}
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
1 teaspoon sage leaves
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon oregano
a dash of salt, pepper
Inside Layer Ingredients
3/4 cup fresh spinach, chopped {if you use frozen, make sure it's thawed}
3/4 cup mozzarella, grated {optional}

Steps:

Mix all of the 'Meat Mixture' ingredients into a bowl. Lay out a large piece of aluminum foil and flatten the meat mixture on the foil until it is approximately 12 inches x 6 inches. Next, sprinkle on a layer of fresh spinach, followed by mozzarella. Using the aluminum foil to assist you, begin to roll the meat, removing the foil as you go. Try to pick up the loaf before the final bit of rolling is done and transfer into your baking dish {a 9 x 11 glass baking dish works well}. Completely remove the foil. Cover the meatloaf with 1/4 cup of ketchup by smearing it all over the top. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 1 hour 15 minutes - 1 hour 30 minutes. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
