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.
