Create it!!

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Coat a muffin pan with a cooking spray.

2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onions, and red pepper sautéing until softened, 5 – 7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute.

3. In a large bowl, mix the mushroom mixture with the ground turkey, bread crumbs, milk, egg, and parsley. Combine thoroughly.

4. Scoop the meatloaf mixture evenly into the muffin tin, pushing down to flatten the meatloaf into each well of the tin. Place in the oven and bake for 22 – 27 minutes or until the turkey is cooked through.

5. While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the instant mashed potatoes. Just before the turkey comes out of the oven, wash the spinach and place in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the spinach with a touch of water for 1 – 2 minutes, making sure to season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper.

6. Remove the turkey meatloaf muffins from the tin, add wilted spinach on top of the meat then spoon mashed potatoes on top of the spinach. Sprinkle with chives. Serve immediately.
