Mediterranean Turkey Meatloaf
This meatloaf blends ground turkey with Mediterranean flavors including sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, fresh spinach, and herbs like oregano and parsley. The mixture is baked until cooked through but moist, then sliced and optionally served with tzatziki sauce to complement the savory, herbaceous profile.
