Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup plain breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 ounces low-moisture mozzarella, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • ¾ cup marinara sauce, divided
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Heat the oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, milk, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently just until everything is evenly combined.
  • Place half of the turkey mixture on the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a compact loaf. Arrange the mozzarella cubes down the center, leaving a border around the edges. Cover with the remaining turkey mixture and pinch the seams closed so the cheese is sealed inside.
  • Spoon ½ cup of the marinara sauce over the top of the loaf. Bake until the center reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 45 to 55 minutes.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Warm the remaining ¼ cup marinara sauce and serve it alongside the slices. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.

merknader

Use low-moisture mozzarella so the filling melts without releasing too much liquid. Keep the cheese in a single line down the center and seal the turkey mixture well around it to help prevent leaks. Serve with the extra marinara for dipping.
