• cooking spray
• 1 cup coarsely chopped mushrooms
• 0.25 cups chopped onion
• 1 package frozen chopped spinach , 10 ounce
• 0.5 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese , divided
• 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 pound 99%-lean ground turkey breast
• 0.75 cups Quaker Oats , Quick or Old Fashioned, uncooked
• 0.5 cups fat-free milk
• 1 egg white , lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning blend

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

2. 2

   Lightly grease a medium skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-low heat. Cook and stir mushrooms and onion in the hot skillet until onion is tender, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.

3. 3

   Add spinach, 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese; mix well and set aside.

4. 4

   Combine turkey, oats, milk, egg white, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; mix lightly but thoroughly.

5. 5

   Spoon 2/3 of the turkey mixture lengthwise down the center of an 11x7-inch glass baking dish. Form a deep indentation down the middle of turkey mixture; fill indentation with spinach mixture.

6. 6

   Top with remaining turkey mixture, forming a loaf. Seal the edges to completely enclose spinach filling.

7. 7

   Bake in the preheated oven until the juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the meat reads 165 degrees F (75 degrees C), 30 to 35 minutes.

8. 8

   Sprinkle meatloaf with remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese. Continue baking until cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
