Greek Turkey Meatloaf

Sometimes I feel like we get in a major dinner rut - eating healthy is great and all but I feel like I have a much harder time coming up with new and fun recipes that don't break the calorie bank. So when I saw this recipe for Greek Turkey Meatloaf, I knew it was one I had to try. I am Greek, so I LOVE Greek food but also had a lot of the ingredients already on hand alng with others to make the recipe my own. Here's what I did....

INGREDIENTS:

 -2 lbs Ground Turkey

-1 cup Reduced Fat Feta Cheese Crumbles

-1 White Onin {chopped}

-2 cups Fresh Baby Spinach

-1 egg {lightly beaten}

-2 cloves of Garlic {minced}

-1/4 cup Coconut Flour

 -1/2 cup Vegetable {or Chicken} Stock

-1 tbsp. Olive Oil

-2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce

-1 tsp Salt

-1/2 tsp Pepper

-1 tbsp Oregano

-1 tbsp Lemon Juice

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 352F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 

2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet and add the onions, garlic, salt and pepper - saute until the onions are soft. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted. 

3. In a large bowl, combine onion & spinach mixture, ground turkey, coconut flour, vegetable stock, egg, oregano, lemon juice and worcestershire sauce. Mix until well combined. 

4. Place half of the turkey mixture on baking sheet and shape into a flat rectangle about 1 inch thick. Cover with feta cheese, pressing to adhere to meatloaf. Place remaining turkey mixture on top and shape the whole thing into a rough loaf looking shape. 

5. Bake for 1 hour or until inside is cooked - be mindful not to overcook because it will dry out.

6. Cut into slices and top it off with some Tzatziki Sauce. I like to make my own using this recipe, otherwise Archer Farms has a great Tzatziki Sauce if you prefer to buy it.
