I'm Coming Over for Dinner!

Michelle - me - Erin @ CrossFit Classics, Feb

Last Friday my #bestie, Erin, invited herself and her father over dinner and on her menu was cabbage and meatloaf.

Wait - wait - let me explain -

1. she invited herself over because with Baby J it's easier for them to come to me - baby stuff on hand - put him to bed whenever - you get it!
2. menu of cabbage and meatloaf?? - sounds like the poor man's dinner, right?!  both dishes known for it's YUCK factor but.....I'd just rediscovered a great roasted cabbage recipe and she dug up an old "paleo" meatloaf dish

Turkey/Spinach/Bacon Meatloaf

• 2 pounds ground turkey thighs (Thigh meat is cheaper and fattier so keeps your meatloaf moist.)
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 onion, finely chopped
• 2-3 cups spinach, finely chopped
• Bacon slices
• Salt, pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Combine all ingredients (except bacon) in a bowl and mix until combined with hands. Mash into a square baking dish -  Cover each with 2-4 strips of bacon. Cook at 325 degrees for approximately 1.5 hours, or until done!
