Main / Recipe Catalog / Spinach meatloaf
I have to admit that I am not a big meatloaf fan. I never cook it for dinner. In fact, the only time I make meatloaf is for sandwiches. So, I concocted this recipe that is a less dense meat and spinach version that tastes very light and works as a sandwich filler. Using 3 whole eggs and a cup of cream binds the mixture and makes it light. The gruyere cheese gives a nice tang and the pepper flakes a little hot kick.
Meatloaf recipes tend to be dry and dense. Not this Meat and Spinach Loaf from "The Essential New York Times Cookbook" by Amanda Hesser.
This is the only meatloaf my mom made when I was growing up that I would eat. Since it's made with turkey and spinach, and very little added fat, I convince myself that its healthy. We love this served with mashed sweet potatoes, mixed with a little Amaretto and brown sugar.
