Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 10 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 ounces orzo pasta
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, spinach, 1/2 cup of the feta, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
  • Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a small loaf. Place the loaves on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
  • While the meatloaves bake, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the orzo according to package directions. Drain well.
  • Return the orzo to the pot and stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, and remaining 1/4 cup feta.
  • Spoon the lemon orzo onto plates and top each serving with one mini meatloaf. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley before serving.

merknader

Squeeze the spinach very dry so the meatloaves hold their shape without extra liquid. If the feta is quite salty, taste the orzo before adding the full amount of salt at the end. Leftovers reheat well in a covered skillet with a splash of water to loosen the orzo.
