Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 cup finely chopped cremini mushrooms
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 large egg
  • ⅓ cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¾ teaspoon salt, divided
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1½ pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • ¼ cup milk for the potatoes

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Heat the oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and mushrooms, then cook for 6 to 8 minutes until softened and their liquid has mostly evaporated. Stir in the spinach and one minced garlic clove. Cook until the spinach wilts, then transfer the mixture to a plate to cool.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons milk, thyme, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Mix gently just until combined.
  • Place the turkey mixture on the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a rectangle about ½ inch thick. Spread the cooled spinach and mushroom mixture down the center, leaving a border on all sides. Fold the long sides over the filling and pinch the seam and ends closed. Turn the loaf seam-side down.
  • Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the center reaches 165°F. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing so the filling stays in place.
  • While the meatloaf bakes, put the potatoes in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain well.
  • Return the potatoes to the saucepan. Add the butter, remaining minced garlic, remaining ¼ teaspoon salt, remaining ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and ¼ cup milk. Mash until smooth, adding a little more milk only if needed for your preferred texture.
  • Slice the rested meatloaf and serve with the garlic mashed potatoes.

merknader

Let the mushroom mixture cool before spreading it over the turkey, since warm filling can make the loaf harder to shape. If the spinach releases liquid as it cooks, drain it well so the center stays neatly stuffed rather than watery. For easier serving, cut the meatloaf with a sharp knife and wipe the blade between slices.
