Spinach Stuffed Turkey Roll Redone

Submitted by riffraff

"After trying another recipe for this from here on Zaar and finding it very bland I re-did it and this is the result. Got inspiration from Shaye and Taste of Home magazine. This is a good, low carb, low fat meal with a ton of flavor. Very pretty when sliced too."

I wrapped the entire roll in applewood smoked thick cut bacon. I cooked the roll 50 minutes, removed the foil, turned the oven up to broil, and let the outer layer of bacon bake until brown. My DH loved it, my 1 1/2 year old daughter devoured it, and I savored every morsel. Thanks for a great recipe!

So moist and flavorful!!! I made this as directed but without the celery as we were out. I did find it a little difficult to roll and keep it's shape because the meat was so soft (next time I'll try using plastic wrap or parchment paper). It mattered not though, the taste is fabulous and we wouldn't change a thing. Even the drippings made a wonderful 'gravy', if you will. Thanks for sharing the recipe. ~Buddha

I followed the recipe exactly but did not enjoy the flavors at all. I could barely get down one small piece. I will not be making this again.

We tried this over the weekend but didn't care for it. When I cooked the spinach by itself first and tried it, it was great! But after assembling the dish and cooking everything together, the flavors in the spinach and the flavors in the turkey loaf didn't work well together for us.
