turkey meatloaf

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds lean ground turkey
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 bunch fresh spinach, thick stems removed and leaves chopped (about 4 cups)
• 1 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
• 1/2 cup whole-wheat bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 large egg white
• kosher salt and black pepper
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 2 pounds red potatoes, quartered
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 cup marinara sauce (optional)

Directions

1. Heat oven to 400° F. In a bowl, combine the turkey, onion, spinach, parsley, bread crumbs, mustard, egg white, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
2. Transfer the mixture to a baking sheet and form it into a 10-inch loaf. Spread with the ketchup. Bake until cooked through, 45 to 50 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, place the potatoes in a large pot of cold water. Simmer until tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Drain the potatoes and mash in the pot with the buttermilk, oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
4. Serve the meat loaf with the marinara sauce (if using) and potatoes.
