It took me awhile to perfect this recipe but it is now a family favorite.  ~Carol

1 1/2 lbs. lean ground turkey
1 egg, beaten
1/2 C. oat bran
3 tsp. coconut oil
1 C. onion, chopped
2 tsp. minced garlic
1/2 C. red pepper, chopped
1/2 C. green bell pepper, chopped
1 Tbsp. Jalapeno peppers, chopped fine (optional)
1 – 1 1/4 C. tomato sauce
1 1/2 tsp. basil
1 1/2 tsp. oregano
1 1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. garlic powder or garlic salt
1 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. pepper
10-12 cups fresh spinach (or 1 package frozen)
2 1/2 C. Mozzarella cheese

In a mixing bowl combine turkey, egg and oat bran. Set aside. In a large skillet, saute onion, garlic and peppers in 2 tsp. coconut oil until onion and peppers are softened. Add tomato sauce and spices and cook until mixture simmers. Remove from pan and add to turkey mixture. In saucepan, heat 1 tsp. coconut oil and add spinach, stirring occasionally until cooked. Remove from heat and chop spinach. Place half of meat mixture in a loaf pan, then top with spinach and 2 cups cheese. Cover with remaining meat mixture. Drizzle additional tomato sauce over top, if desired. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. Sprinkle with additional mozzarella cheese and return to oven until cheese is melted.
