Turkey Mini-Meatloaves

For the meatloaves
1 slice whole-wheat bread
1/2 cup skim milk
1 onion, diced
5-ounce bag baby spinach leaves
1 1/4 pounds ground turkey (make sure it’s lean, some ground turkey has a lot of fat)
2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

For the glaze
3 tablespoons ketchup
2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce, optional

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grind the bread in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Transfer to a large bowl, and pour milk over crumbs. Coat a large skillet with cooking spray, preferably nonstick, and heat over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden, about 5 minutes. Add spinach, and stir until just wilted. Transfer to bowl with soaked crumbs. Add the turkey, cheese, egg, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Combine the mixture with your hands until well mixed; it will be quite wet. Pack 1 cup of the mixture into a 1-cup dry measuring cup. Invert the cup onto a rimmed baking sheet, gently shaking the cup to release the mixture. Gently pat the mound to smooth its shape. Repeat three times with remaining mixture. Bake mini meatloaves until cooked through and golden, about 40 minutes.

While the meatloaves are cooking, make the glaze: In a small bowl combine the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Brush over meatloaves before serving.
