Bacon Cheese And Spinach Stuffed Turkey Loaf

---

I got the idea for a stuffed meatloaf from shaye on the site; however, as mine evolved it became a whole different animal (or loaf if you will). I have to give shaye credit for the technique!!

For filling:.

Combine ground turkey , egg , green peppers , zucchini , cheddar french-fried onions , worcestershire sauce , mustard , ketchup , salt and pepper , and crushed red pepper flakes if using.
