Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground turkey
- 5 cups fresh spinach
- 1 large egg
- 0.75 cups bread crumbs
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until they are softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined, but avoid over-mixing to keep the loaf tender.
On a flat surface, lay a sheet of parchment paper. Spread the turkey mixture into a rectangular shape, about 12 inches by 8 inches.
Spread the cooled spinach mixture evenly over the turkey mixture, leaving about 1 inch around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the spinach.
Using the parchment paper to help, carefully roll the turkey mixture into a loaf, starting from one of the shorter sides. Pinch the seams and ends to seal tightly.
Transfer the turkey loaf to the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let the loaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy!
