You'll feel good about serving this comforting, kid-friendly meatloaf, made even better with turkey, spinach and low-fat mozzarella cheese.

Ingredients

• Vegetable cooking spray
• 1 1/4 pounds ground turkey
• 1 cup Prego® Traditional Italian Sauce
• 1/2 cup Italian-seasoned dry bread crumbs
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
• 2 eggs, beaten or 1 egg and 2 egg whites
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon fennel seed
• 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
• 3/4 cup shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oven to 350°F.  Spray an 8-inch loaf pan with the cooking spray.

Thoroughly mix the turkey, 1/4 cup sauce, bread crumbs, onion, eggs, Parmesan cheese and fennel seed in a large bowl.

Press half the turkey mixture into the pan.  Press a 1-inch indentation down the center of the turkey mixture.

Stir the spinach and mozzarella cheese in a medium bowl.  Spoon the spinach mixture into the indentation, mounding in the center.  Press the remaining turkey mixture over the filling, pressing the edges to seal.

Bake for 45 minutes. Spoon the remaining sauce over the meatloaf.

Bake for 15 minutes or until the meatloaf is cooked through.  Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
