Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup plain breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup chopped baby spinach
  • 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into 8 small cubes
  • ¼ cup marinara sauce

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Heat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease 8 cups of a standard muffin pan.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, milk, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix just until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the chopped spinach with the mozzarella cubes, distributing the spinach around the cheese.
  • Divide the turkey mixture into 8 portions. Press each portion into a muffin cup and make a small well in the center.
  • Add a little of the spinach and mozzarella mixture to each well. Cover the filling with the turkey mixture and gently seal the edges so the cheese is enclosed.
  • Spoon a little marinara sauce over each muffin. Bake for 22 to 27 minutes, until the turkey is cooked through and the centers reach 165°F.
  • Let the muffins rest in the pan for 5 minutes before lifting them out. This helps them hold their shape and gives the filling time to settle.

Chop the spinach finely so it fits neatly around the mozzarella cubes, and seal the turkey well over the filling to help keep the cheese inside as it melts. Serve the muffins warm with extra marinara from the listed amount, if desired.
