Turkey Meatloaf

 This is the easiest meal to throw together, and satisfies the whole comfort food urge without all the guilt.  (For that, just add cheddar biscuits.)  The turkey is leaner than beef, and there's tons of spinach for added zinc, fiber, Vitamin C, and tons of other important nutritious stuff.  Put everything in a bowl, into a loaf pan, and bake; it couldn't be easier!  For any day-after helpings, heat up and put on toast with ketchup.  Yum yum!

Turkey Meatloaf (from Real Simple)
1 1/2 lb. ground turkey
1 onion, chopped
1/2 bag spinach, thick stems removed and leaves chopped (about 4 c.)
1/2 c. whole-wheat bread crumbs
2 Tbsp. dijon mustard
1 large egg white
Salt and pepper

1. Heat oven to 400.  In a bowl, combine ingredients.  Season with 1/2 tsp. each of salt and pepper.
2. Transfer mixture to a loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, until cooked through.  Serve with cheddar biscuits and steamed green beans, if desired.
