How to Make Bacon Cheese And Spinach Stuffed Turkey Loaf

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. **Prepare the Spinach Filling:**
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add 10 oz (280g) fresh spinach and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  5. Cook until spinach is wilted, about 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to cool.
  6. Once cool, chop the spinach finely.
  7. In a bowl, combine the chopped spinach, 4 oz (115g) cooked turkey bacon (chopped), 1 cup (100g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and 4 oz (115g) softened cream cheese.
  8. Set the filling aside.
  9. **Prepare the Turkey Loaf:**
  10. In a large bowl, combine 1.5 lbs (680g) ground turkey, 1 large egg, 1/2 cup (70g) chopped green bell pepper, 1/2 cup (70g) shredded zucchini, 1/2 cup (50g) French fried onions, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon ketchup, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional).
  11. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with wax paper, leaving some overhang on the sides.
  12. Pat the turkey mixture into a rectangle in the prepared pan.
  13. Spread the spinach filling evenly over the turkey mixture.
  14. Carefully roll the mixture jelly-roll style, starting from a long side.
  15. Seal the ends tightly.
  16. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the loaf is browned.
  17. Let the loaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
