Creamed spinach is no longer too heavy, and it’s time to spice up the common meatloaf. While a dish this decadent can typically lead to a long nap, it shouldn't this time. The lean turkey paired with coconut creamed spinach creates a nourishing and energizing main course.

How to Pick Turkey

Any percentage lean ground turkey will do.

Ingredient Swaps

You can replace the spinach with kale or even collard greens.

Nutrition information

This meatloaf is loaded with non-starchy vegetables — something you don’t always see in traditional meatloaf! The onions, bell peppers, and spinach all bring a variety of nutrients to the table. The American Diabetes Association recommends filling half your plate with non-starchy vegetables since they’re low in carbs and have less impact on blood sugar levels. Some even call them “superstar foods” because they’re rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

MEATLOAF:

  2. Combine the cooked onion mixture, egg, flax seed meal, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Mix in the ground turkey until well combined.
  3. Spray each loaf pan with oil spray and equally divide the meatloaf mixture into the pans.
  4. Place the crisper plate into the air fryer basket.
  5. Select the Preheat function, adjust temperature to 450°F, then tap Start/Pause.
  6. Place the mini loaf pans onto the preheated crisper plate.
  7. Select the Bake function, adjust temperature to 325°F, then tap Start/Pause.
  8. Stir together all the ingredients for the glaze.
  9. Divide the glaze in half and spoon on top of each meatloaf, making sure to spread the glaze out to the edges. Return the basket to the air fryer.

  11. Remove when done and set aside to cool while you make the creamed spinach.

CREAMED SPINACH:

  2. Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour. Stir and cook for 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the vegetable stock slowly while breaking up any clumps. Add coconut milk and mix well.
  4. Fold in the spinach and cook for about 10 minutes or until the spinach has wilted.
