Steps:

• Heat oven to 400° Fahrenheit. Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet (or use a 9-inch by 13-inch baking pan) lined with aluminum foil.

• Place onion in nonstick sauté pan over low heat. Cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add spinach leaves and salt, and stir until spinach wilts. Line a small baking sheet with several thicknesses of paper towel, and spread spinach mixture on towel and refrigerate to cool.
• Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a mixing bowl or bowl of an electric mixer combine turkey, thyme, pepper, cayenne and cooked garlic cloves; mix well.
• Remove spinach from refrigerator, and chop. Add to mixing bowl, and mix well by hand or on low speed by machine. Form into loaf shape.

Sides can be seared but only if you have a very large spatula to turn loaf easily. Place skillet in oven or transfer loaf to shallow baking dish, then place in oven. Bake about 50 minutes, until a thermometer registers 160 degrees. Remove from oven and serve, or refrigerate and serve cold. Reserve remaining garlic oil for another use.
