A woman I work with recently brought in a turkey patty that she had prepared at home. It looked and smelled delicious, and she was kind enough to share her recipe. I figured it wouldn't be a huge hit with the kids (it involves spinach and feta) so I decided to make a "loaf" for myself, that I could cut pieces from and warm up for lunches at work, or eat for dinner when I make something that is more kid-centric but not necessarily one of my favorites. It cooked up beautifully, and I plan to keep it on hand in the fridge throughout this week. It is very moist and flavorful. This recipe is gluten-free, low-carb, and full of veggies. It's also infinitely adaptable. I made a simple aioli to top the slice I ate for dinner.
Ingredients: 1 pound ground turkey 1 egg olive oil 1 small onion, chopped 4 scallions, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 10-oz bag of frozen spinach 1 cup chopped mushrooms 1 cup diced peppers 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese 1 fresh tomato, chopped 1 tsp gluten free tamari salt/pepper to taste 1. In a large saute pan, gently cook the onions, scallions, and garlic for about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and peppers, and cook until soft. Add the chopped spinach and chopped tomato and cook for an addition 5 minutes. Add the feta cheese, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat. 2. In a bowl, mix the cooked vegetables, ground turkey, tamari, and egg until well-combined. 3. Press the mixture into a 9x9 baking dish. Bake at 375 for about 30-40 minutes, or until at least 165 degrees in the middle. This can also be made as burgers, and grilled. Aioli: Mix together 2 Tbsp mayonnaise, 1 clove garlic, and 1-2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice. Combine well and use as a topping for the meatloaf.
