This was the first recipe I made off of my huge list, and it was a huge hit. Hubs says it's one of those things that gets better the longer it sits, so every day it tastes better haha.
Ingredients
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 1 package frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 2 lbs ground turkey
- 1/4 cup coconut flour (or 1/2 cup bread crumbs)
- 1/2 cup chicken stock (reduce to 1/4 cup if using bread crumbs)
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
Directions
- Pre-heat oven to 325.
- Heat oil in saucepan. Add onions, salt, and pepper. Heat until translucent. Add spinach and stir until heated throughout.
- Mix onion mixture, turkey, flour/breadcrumbs, chicken stock, egg & Worcestershire sauce. Mix until well combined.
- Place half of the mixture in a baking sheet and evenly spread flat.
- Cover with feta cheese.
- Place the remaining mixture on top of cheese and evenly spread flat.
- Bake for 1-1.25 hours, or until internal temperature reaches 160.
My Changes
- I used plain breadcrumbs instead of coconut flour...because I don't have coconut flour.
- I added some Italian seasoning & cilantro because the original poster from the above site suggested that it needed some more seasoning, and I forgot to look for her suggestion of gyro seasoning at the grocery store. It worked nicely.
- I plan on using more feta next time I make this. The idea of putting it in the middle instead of mixing it up as in a traditional meatloaf was nice, but for our preference (me & hubs) it could have been stronger.
- I also want to make this using ground lamb. Hubs LOVES lamb and I feel like that would really take this recipe to the next level.
