Original Recipe HERE
No one in my family screams for joy when I say we're having meatloaf, so I very rarely serve it. I thought this turkey version might be a little lighter and different enough to win them over. I even made it in the muffin tin so that we each had cute little individual ones...sometimes, with kids, presentation is everything. They all said they liked it that night, but the next day they changed their tune. I guess it's not a do-again, but I liked it enough to hang onto hope that someday they'll come around.
Ingredients
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup finely diced onion
2 cups baby spinach, packed and then chopped
1 pound lean ground turkey [my package was 1.3 pounds]
1 egg
1 cup bread crumbs [I used Italian seasoned]
3/4 cup ketchup, divided
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
salt, pepper, and other seasonings, to taste
1 to 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
