Turkey Meat Loaf with Mashed Potatoes

Serves 6| Hands-On Time: 25m | Total Time: 1hr
Ingredients

    1 1/2 pounds lean ground turkey
    1 onion, chopped
    1 bunch spinach, thick stems removed and leaves chopped (about 4 cups)
    1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
    1/2 cup whole-wheat bread crumbs
    2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
    1 large egg white
    Kosher salt and black pepper
    1/4 cup ketchup
    2 pounds red potatoes, quartered
    1 cup buttermilk
    1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
    1/4 cup jarred marinara sauce, warmed (optional)

Directions

Heat oven to 400° F. In a bowl, combine the turkey, onion, spinach, parsley, bread crumbs, mustard, egg white, and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper.  Transfer the mixture to a baking sheet and form it into a 10-inch loaf. Spread with the ketchup. Bake until cooked through, 45 to 50 minutes.
 Meanwhile, place the potatoes in a large pot of enough water to cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash with the buttermilk, oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.  Serve the meat loaf with the potatoes and the marinara sauce, if using.
