Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1/4 cup basil pesto
  • 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, pesto, breadcrumbs, egg, 1 cup of the spinach, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly blended.
  • Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a small loaf about 1 inch thick. Place the loaves on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Scatter the cherry tomatoes and remaining 1 cup of spinach around the loaves on the baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the tomatoes and spinach.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaves reaches 165 degrees F. Let the loaves rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Chop the spinach finely before mixing so it blends smoothly into the turkey without creating large pockets. If the pesto you use is very salty, reduce the added salt by half. Leftovers reheat well in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes to keep the tomatoes from turning soggy.
