Instructions:
Instructions: Spray a large nonstick skillet; heat pan on a medium setting. Saute onion and garlic until soft, about 6 minutes; add the remaining ingredients listed under seasonings. Stir to combine and saute for 1 minute or until just warm. Remove from heat and set aside to cool (10 minutes).

Tear bread into small pieces. Place in the bowl of a Cuisinart fitted with the metal blade. Add the cilantro and spinach. Pulse to chop and crumb. Set aside.

Preheat the over to 375F. Prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan with vegetable oil.

Combine the two meats in a large bowl. Add all sauteed ingredients and mix until combined. Add the crumbs and mix until combined. Place mixture in the prepared loaf pan. Drizzle the Worcestershire sauce over the top and spread evenly.

Bake the loaf at 375F for 1 1/2 hours to 1 3/4 hours or until thermometer reads 180F. Remove from the oven and allow to rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Slice to serve warm, or wrap well and refrigerate for about 4 days.

NOTES : We experiment with spicy meatloaf. This one combines leanest ground beef with ground turkey breast. The spicy and colorful vegetables are a treat for the appetite. Splurge with a serving of baked potato and creamed spinach.
