For added flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic to the mushroom and onion mixture. Ensure the spinach is thoroughly drained to prevent a soggy meatloaf. Squeeze out excess moisture with paper towels. If you don't have Italian seasoning, you can create your own blend using dried oregano, basil, rosemary, and thyme. To add a touch of sweetness, brush the top of the meatloaf with a light glaze of ketchup or barbecue sauce during the last 10 minutes of baking. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and balanced meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepLightly grease a medium skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-low heat. Cook and stir mushrooms and onion until the onion is softened and translucent, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. (5 minutes)
03
StepIn a separate bowl, combine the thawed and drained spinach, 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well to create the spinach filling. (3 minutes)
04
StepIn a large bowl, gently combine the ground turkey, oats, milk, egg white, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix lightly until just combined to avoid a tough meatloaf. (5 minutes)
05
StepSpoon approximately 2/3 of the turkey mixture lengthwise down the center of an 11x7-inch glass baking dish. Create a deep indentation down the middle of the turkey mixture to accommodate the spinach filling. (3 minutes)
06
StepCarefully fill the indentation with the spinach mixture, distributing it evenly. (2 minutes)
07
StepTop with the remaining turkey mixture, carefully forming a loaf shape. Seal the edges well to completely enclose the spinach filling and prevent it from drying out. (5 minutes)
08
StepBake in the preheated oven until the juices run clear when pierced with a fork and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf reads 165 degrees F (75 degrees C), approximately 30 to 35 minutes. (35 minutes)
09
StepSprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the meatloaf. Continue baking until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 1 to 2 minutes. (2 minutes)
10
StepRemove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more moist and flavorful meatloaf. (5 minutes)
