1 slice whole wheat bread
½ cup skim milk
1 Tbsp. + 1 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 (5 oz) bag baby spinach leaves
1¼ lbs ground turkey
2 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese, grated
1 large egg
½ tsp. sea salt
¼ tsp. black pepper, freshly cracked
1/8 tsp. fresh nutmeg, grated
1 red pepper, roasted
2 Tbsp. ketchup
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. hot sauce

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C/170°C fan, Gas Mark 5).

Grind the bread in a food processor until fine crumbs form.  Transfer to a large bowl, and pour milk over crumbs.

Heat 1 tsp. oil in a large skillet, preferably non-stick, over medium heat.  Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden, about 5 minutes.  Add spinach, and stir until just wilted, about 30 seconds.  Transfer to bowl with soaked crumbs.  Add the turkey, cheese, egg, sea salt, pepper, and nutmeg.  Combine the mixture with your hands until well mixed, it will be quite wet.

Fill non-stick muffin tins with meatloaf mixture.

Bake until cooked through and golden, about 40 minutes.

In a small bowl blend ketchup, Worcestershire, hot sauce, and brush on meatloaves. 

Makes 4 servings.
