Spinach, whole-wheat bread crumbs, and lean turkey boost the fiber and reduce the fat in this hearty classic. Buttermilk in the potatoes lowers the saturated fat. 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 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. 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. 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. Serve the meat loaf with the marinara sauce (if using) and potatoes.
