Ingredienser
  

  • 1/2 cup dry orzo
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups packed baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Heat the oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cook the orzo according to the package directions. Drain it well and set it aside to cool slightly.
  • Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted. Let it cool, then gently squeeze out excess moisture.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, feta, red onion, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Add the cooked orzo and spinach.
  • Mix gently until the ingredients are evenly combined. Shape the mixture into a compact loaf on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake until the center reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 45 to 55 minutes. Rest the loaf for 10 minutes before slicing.

Let the meatloaf cool completely before portioning it for the freezer, and thaw portions in the refrigerator before reheating. Squeeze the cooked spinach well so the mixture stays firm, and avoid overmixing to keep the turkey loaf tender.
