Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup dry orzo
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained
  • 1 cup finely chopped fresh spinach
  • 1/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Heat the oven to 375°F. Lightly oil a loaf pan with the olive oil.
  • Cook the orzo in a small saucepan of boiling water according to the package directions until just tender. Drain well and let it cool for a few minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, cooked orzo, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan, milk, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until evenly combined.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and shape it into an even loaf. Spread the tomato paste over the top in a thin layer.
  • Bake until the center reaches 165°F and the loaf is cooked through, about 45 to 55 minutes. Let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing so the slices hold together.

Drain the orzo thoroughly so the meatloaf mixture does not become wet, and mix the turkey gently to keep the texture tender. For a sharper tomato flavor, spread the tomato paste in a slightly thicker layer over the top.
